Paulsen, Gary. Harris and Me. New York : Yearling Press, 1995. Reviewed by Jessica D., Rundlett Middle School.
This book is about a teenage boy whose parents get drunk a lot. He goes to live with his aunt and uncle on a farm. He's from the city and he's not really used to what their life is like -- working hard and eating big meals. His cousin Harris is really different. He's really rude, has no manners and does basically everything he wants. The two like to get into a lot of trouble. They wrestle pigs and do a lot of really wierd stuff. I recommend this book because it's really funny. It shows a bond that can't be broken between different people.
