I love JCG! Frightful is a falcon that was raised and trained by Sam Gribley, a boy who escaped New York City to live in the Catskill mountains. This part of the series is about how his falcon flew away, mated, made a nest on a shaking bridge, and migrated. Frightful struggled each day to survive and provide for herself. Will she make it till the end of her days or will the end come early?

This book is the WORST! I had to read it for a school assignment, and it was pure awful! It was almost impossible to read just ONE chapter. Imagine a bird, that flies. BUT, they describe that bird in every possible way. That is how boring and repelling this book is. I could not finish it due to poor writing.
I WANT TO READ THIS
Let me tell you a part of it; Frightful met a mate of her own kind, two times, and had 6 chicks and out of those six, three got the DDT, and died. When it was migrating time, Frightful just didnt go. She stayed in her(And Sam's) mountain. Its a pretty good book.
