Episode 95: My Side of the Mountain
/
My Side of the Mountain
Long-time listeners of The SSR Podcast will hardly be surprised to discover that Alli is not the biggest fan of survival stories, but on Episode 95, she and her guest revisit Jean Craighead George’s Newbery Honor-winning novel My Side of the Mountain. After all, it is a classic!
Tune in to find out if this is the book to change Alli’s mind about the survival genre and to hear her frustrations about its lack of character context and backstory. How old is the main character? Why did he run away? Why do his parents seem so unconcerned? Episode 95 covers it all.
