He uses fire to make the interior of the hollow tree bigger. Sam forages for edible plants and traps animals for food. Sam finds the farm but discovers the farmhouse is no longer standing. Sam goes into town and is told where his grandfather's land is. He meets Bill, a man living in a cabin in the woods, who teaches him how to make a fire. Unable at first to locate the farm, Sam tries to survive on his own but finds his skills are not up to the task. Sam heard about his grandfather's abandoned farm near Delhi, New York, learned wilderness survival skills by reading a book at the New York City Public Library, and how Sam's father permitted him to go to Delhi, and, while he didn't think that Sam would survive, said that if he made it, to tell someone in town. In a flashback, Sam reminisces about how he came to be there. Frightful, Sam's pet peregrine falcon, and The Baron, a weasel, share the home with him. The novel begins in the middle of Sam's story, with Sam huddled in his treehouse home in the forest during a severe blizzard. He decides to run away to his great-grandfather's abandoned farm in the Catskill Mountains to live in the wilderness. Sam Gribley is a 12-year-old boy who intensely dislikes living in his parents' cramped New York City apartment with his eight brothers and sisters.
