Summary: The Haymeadow
Review: This is an absolute buy! When I read this book I fell in love with Gary Paulsens books. It is about a 14 year old boy who's father is with a sick worker, so he sends his son to take a herd of sheep into the mountains with only 4 dogs to help and keep him company.Along the way there are many interesting things that happen to him. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves the outdoors.

Summary: Awesome Book
Review: This was probably one of the best books I have ever read. It is packed with excitement and I couldn't put it down. It shows how the brave main character,John, can handle one big problem after another with extreme perserverence. From hurt dogs and lambs,to flash floods,cyoties, and even bears. And in the end he comes out intact and in one piece. John had to spend three months tending many sheep with the help of dogs and horses, and with the distraction of bears and other wild happenings.His father, who didn't have a strong relationship with John, came to visit near the end of John's time at the haymeadow. Somehow, by his father telling stories of the past and just talking to each other all night,thier relation ship was binded together. This is a wonderful book and I highly recomend it.

Summary: John spends an isolated in the mountains with 6,000 sheep
Review: When 14 year old John Barron is asked to spend the summer in an isolated mountain meadow, he is unsure. I mean, sheep are stupid anyway, right?
But Tink, the farmhand is sick, and it IS John's turn, just like his father, and his father before him. So he does end up going up to the haymeadow to waste his summer with these...these... creatures. During his stay, John learns more about responsibility as he encounters may complicated tasks, and he also realizes that maybe sheep aren't so stupid after all. An outstanding book. Gary Paulsen does and exellent job of actually telling the reader what the character is really thinking.

Summary: One of the two best books I've ever read
Review: You've read the other reviews, so you know what the book is about. So I'll tell you what makes it so good. I'm 17 years old, I read the book when I was in 6th and 7th grade. The beginning is a little slow, but it quickly picks up, and once it does, it NEVER slows down. It attracted me to it because it's about ranching and farming, growing up on farms all of my life, I knew it would interest me. Its one of the two best books I've ever read (the other book I love is "Where the Red Fern Grows", by Wilson Rawls). I reccomend both of these books to anyone who likes the outdoors and nature. I am currently purchasing both for my reading pleasure. I promise you, you wont be disapointed with either of them.
