I love onions. There’s nothing better than a steak with sautéed onions on the side. Unfortunately, Onion John lacked the onion necessary to make this delicious. Onion John is a homeless man who speaks no English save for select memorized speeches and his standard “have a good day!” Young Andy Rusch is his best friend since he can, miraculously, understand John’s jabber. Soon enough the town, led by Andy’s father, comes up with a plan to build Onion John a new home. Can you guess what comes next? I could. I knew his unrelenting obsession with bathtubs wasn’t a good sign of adjusting to civilized life. It has its moments, but I was glad to get it over.
I read this book in fourth grade.
While I remember hardly nothing of the book itself, I remember that I truly hated it.

Great book that examines our need to improve and change people, even if it is not what they want or in their best interest.
A friend asked why I was reading this kid’s book…best I could come up was it was an award winner. And now that I have finished, that’s really the only reason. It’s a fine story, but not sure it would have been a favorite even when I was the target age.
