But when he comes across a baby owl that has fallen out of its nest, Borden can’t resist the tiny, elflike creature. And luckily this owlet doesn’t have spots, so it must be a barred owl - not the enemy. Borden takes the little owl home and names it Bardy. Before long, Bardy wins over each member of Borden’s owl-hating family.

Over half a century ago, John Rowlands set out by canoe into the wilds of Canada to survey land for a timber company. After paddling alone for several days, he came upon "the lake of my boyhood dreams", which he named Cache Lake because there was stored the best that the north had to offer-timber for a cabin; fish, game, and berries to live on; and the peace and contentment he felt he could not live without.

One of the best books we’ve listened to!
We listened to the first book, My Side of the Mountain and loved it. This book, however, was so much richer—which is hard to believe I’m saying because the first book was SO good. The first book is more about life on the mountain and this book was a compelling and developing story. Many falconry and trail-finding details. We listened with our 4, 5, and 8 year olds. Everyone loved it!

Very good for the sequel of a fantastic book.
I was very worried about this not living up to the first book, but it ended up being an excellent continuation of the series. I enjoyed it for slightly different reasons than I did the first. The first was more focused on survival and the processes of it while this book was focused more on the drama in the storyline and Sam coming to accept change from his ideal, rural setting.

Creative pleasant story
The only thing I would say negatively about this story, is that the main character can be some what selfish and almost more childish than he was in the first book but maybe that was on purpose....oh well. Didn't bother me too much.

great sequel
when this book started I was questioning if it could stand up to my side of the mountain and it started slow and didn't have much to do a survival like the original but somehow it managed to pay respect to the original buy diving deeper into respect of nature and closing out the story in a more adult fashion that explains the future of our main character

Okay Novel, The 1st Novel of the Series was Better
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes, simply because I'm reading a book.
What could Jean Craighead George have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
To be honest, I really did not care for this sequel to the first novel. However, I cannot say for sure what Jean could have done to make it more enjoyable. Because I feel like anything I say would change the purpose of the sequel, so I would have to say leave the sequel as it is.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jeff Woodman?
The narrator from the first novel would have been my preference. Christian Rummel was his name. Jeff was a great narrator, but something about the way Christian read the story sounded better. For one thing, he narrated a little faster, which I was very pleased about. Because Jeff's narrating, I have to admit, sometimes made me want to stop listening and read it on my own.
Was On the Far Side of the Mountain worth the listening time?
Yes, after listening to the first novel I had to listen to the second. And the last novel of the series is definitely on my list as well.
Any additional comments?
Nope.

Sad
Two of my kids (approx. ages 10 and 12) enjoyed the first book "My Side of the Mountain" and re-listened to it many times. However, this sequel, they said they will not read again. They both said it was too sad. They are not usually overly sensitive to that kind of thing, but they both said they will not be reading or listening to it again.
