Summary
Summary
Oksi-the daughter of the legendary falcon Frightful- does things her own way. And when a poacher climbs the steel girders of a bridge to Frightful's nest, Oksi's refusal to act like her brothers keeps her from being captured. Unfortunately, Frightful (who can't count) thinks the man has stolen all of her babies, and she abandons the nest. Luckily, Frightful's friend Sam Gribley comes to Oksi's aid. This delightful continuation of the story from Frightful's Mountain serves as a great introduction for young readers to the lessons of forest life.Author
Author Bio: Jean Craighead George
Jean Craighead George (1919–2012) was born in a family of naturalists. Her father, mother, brothers, aunts, and uncles were students of nature. On weekends they camped in the woods close to their home near Washington, DC, climbed trees to study owls, gathered edible plants, and made fishhooks from twigs. In third grade she began writing—and went on to write over one hundred popular books for young adults and children, including the Newbery Medal–winning Julie of the Wolves and the Newbery Honor book My Side of the Mountain. Most of her books deal with topics related to the environment and the natural world.
