Book Review: The Haymeadow by Gary Paulsen

The Haymeadow by Gary Paulsen
Rating: Most Excellent
Reviewed by Anson (Teen Reviewer)

The Haymeadow is about 14-year-old John Barron, who is sent with six thousand sheep into the haymeadow for the summer. Just him. And the sheep. And the dogs. And the mountains. But his friend Cawley’s advice “Things just happen to sheep” comes to be true when coyotes attack, the nearby river floods, and a bear goes mad. This book is a true gem among others. Everybody should read this book, it’s a real page-turner.
