A funny and good book. Lots of humor. (

In this book i really like how the author gave Harris an accent when he said "ya i got me some dorty peeptures" I thought that this gave him a more complex personality. (

I laughed out loud. I recommended it to an older male friend who saw himself and loved it. (

If you love listening to Tales from Lake Wobegon, I'm positive you'll give this book five stars. Great for any age, probably a joy to read aloud as a family. If you've raised animals or lived on a farm you may enjoy it six stars or more! Interesting to note the level of technology held by this area post-WWII. Comments from those people on farms in the late '40s '50s welcome for perspective. (

So funny I laughed out loud! I have suggested it to tons of boys who "hate to read" and they have all loved it. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0440409942, Paperback)

This summer will be different. That's for sure. When an eleven-year-old city boy is dropped off to stay on a farm with relatives, he doesn't know what to expect. His cousin Harris soon takes care of that. Harris is rude and crude and finds trouble at every turn. He leads his city cousin into everything from wrestling slippery pigs to catching mice to a daredevil jump out of a barn loft. And that's not all. There are swimming and cowboy movies and enough good food to fill the boys up for days.

Farm life is hard but never lonely. Before long, Harris's cousin has found a place where he belongs. If only summer could last forever.
