Harris and Me

A Summer Remembered

De: Gary Paulsen

Narrado por: Barbara Caruso

“I’m 11-years-old, from the city, and my parents are mean alcoholics. One day the deputy takes me away to live with some distant relatives on their sprawling farm in the country. At the Larsen farm, I meet my Uncle Knute and Aunt Clair and their two children, Glennis and her wild brother Harris. I also meet Louie, the crusty old guy who works as a farmhand and steals all the pancakes at breakfast. Harris introduces me to life on the farm, and it proves to be a rude awakening. From getting up before dawn to be kicked in the groin by a cow, to wrestling in the mud with slimy pigs, this is turning out to be quite the experience. Best-selling author Gary Paulsen is acclaimed for his many novels for young adults. This rollicking tale set just after WWII features action and laughs galore, and is sure to appeal to even the most reluctant readers.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“A hearty helping of old-fashioned, rip-roaring entertainment.” ( Publishers Weekly)

Sad ending made my cry😭🙂😇😍

It is awesome👍 it did make me cry tho at the very end.I love it!

classic boyhood shenanigans beautifully portrayed

this story is a wonderfully nostalgic walk down the mischievous path of adolescent virginity boys. the dynamic between boys is real and well told. i loved it.

Childish reminiscences

Must read, full of childish fun. Read when I was younger and forgot how good it was! Only beef I have with it is that there isn’t more.

One of my favorites

I read this book while I was in elementary school and still loved it now when I'm 25. One of my favorite short book which keeps you laughing the whole time. Parents be advised there is mild cursing, but it's pretty mellow for today's standards

Great story!

Easy read! You will smile and maybe even laugh just like you are on the farm with Harris.
