Harris and Me: A Summer Remembered by Gary Paulsen
5.0
Read for the "book you loved as a child" prompt of the 2017 PopSugar reading challenge.
This book is the story of the kind of summer that every kid should be able to experience. I remember reading this book as a kid and remember enjoying it. But reading it again now, I think I appreciate it even more. I actually laughed out loud picturing the narrator's adventures with Harris. As an adult, I understand much more how precious this time in a kid's like is and how magical it can be. I also understand much more when Harris talks about Knute being so quiet because he's worried about things on the farm. I wish every kid, especially boys, would take the opportunity to read this book. It's just so much fun. I can't wait until my sons, and daughter if she wants, get to read it.
