We Were the Mulvaneys. Actually my daughter had to read it for AP Lit and I snatched it from her when she was done. Great read for teens.

My side of the mountain.
I was probably about 12 when i read it. It's about a boy who has a swiss army knife and goes off to live in the wilderness. With his pocket knife, he builds a home, animal traps, fishing poles, etc. To this day, I think swiss army knives are awesome.

I can't imagine suggesting Atls Shrugged to a reluctant teen reader. It's a monster of a book.


It was on our high summer reading list senior year in the late 80s.
