Product Description:

Young Sam Gribley (Teddy Eccles) idolizes Henry David Thoreau--so much so that he decides to live at one with nature like the famous writer. Leaving only a note for his parents and taking few possessions, Sam runs away from home and learns to fend for himself in the mountainous wilderness.

Plot Synopsis:

After his father doesn't take him on a promised trip into the wilderness, Sam runs away from his Toronto home to do it on his own.
The young boy makes a bunch of new friends in the mountains, including elderly folk singer Bando, librarian Miss Turner, a raccoon named Gus, and the falcon Frightful.
Although Sam proves very well-equipped to take care of himself, will he be able to survive a terrible snowstorm and various other dangers?
