El amor a la naturaleza y el respeto por todo lo silvestre que siente Jean Craighead George ha sido la inspiración para muchos de sus libros orientados a los adolescentes. Igual que Sam Gribley, Jean Craighead George aprendió a comulgar con la naturaleza por propia experiencia. 'Mi padre y mis hermanos me familiarizaron con la fauna silvestre y la naturaleza', dice. 'Me llevaban con ellos a la selva para que conociera las plantas y los animales, sus hábitats y sus relactiones con el ambiente. Remé en canoas, fui en excursiones rastreando pistas, hice camas con ramas y cociné comidas silvestres'.
Mi rincón en la montaña, publicado en 1959, es Libro de honor Newbery y Libro notable de la ALA, y obtuvo el Premio internacional Hans Christian Andersen. Sobre la novela se filmó también una película de gran éxito. Julia of the Wolves, otro libro de gran éxito de la autora, recibió la Medalla Newbery en 1973.
