"Aren't you scared to stay here by yourself?" asks the driver.
"Heck no!" Sam shouts, swinging down from the truck. He's come from the city to live in the forest for a whole year. All he has with him are a knife, an axe, and flint and steel for making a fire--no matches, no food, no tent.
But this first night he can't get a fire going. Hungry and cold, he sits shivering, listening to the wild cries of night creatures...
Now he is scared!!!
Would make a wonderful book for any Middle school child!

Sam Gribley is terribly unhappy living in his family's crowded New York City apartment. So, armed with just the bare necessities -- a penknife, a ball of cord, some flint and steel, and the clothes on his back -- he runs away to the mountains. There, Sam must rely on his own ingenuity and the resources of the great outdoors to survive -- and he discovers a side of himself he never knew existed.
Book has some sketches throughout as read about in text.
