My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George was, per Wikipedia, a 1960 Newbery Honor Award winner. (Wikipedia indicates this means it was a runner-up.) And among the bazillions of books I've read I still remember this one quite vividly from when I was young. Oh, and in a vividly positive way ...I guess one could also remember a book vividly for how bad it was, and as I think about it, I do recall a few of those too...

My Side is on sale right now in the US for $2.99.

Quote:
Sam Gribley is terribly unhappy living in New York City with his family, so he runs away to the Catskill Mountains to live in the woods—all by himself. With only a penknife, a ball of cord, forty dollars, and some flint and steel, he intends to survive on his own. Sam learns about courage, danger, and independence during his year in the wilderness, a year that changes his life forever.
