Adventure
 

Plot:

This story is about a teenage boy who has to go to the mountains with the basic needs, dogs, horses, and sheep. Tink a farm helper has cancer, so his dad can not take the sheep. This boy has to stay there for three months. He does not have a relationship with his dad. Will they ever become close? Will the boy last in the mountains for three months? Find out in the Haymeadow.

good:

This text was great because it makes you realize that you only need the basic needs. You do not need all of the fancy stuff to make out in this world and this book encourages just using what you need. This book was also great because the boy does not just go on an adventure to the mountains, but also to finds the real him.

weaknesses:

I feel the author did a great job, but I do not like how he made so many animals die. Other than that this was a great book, that I think almost anybody could enjoy. This book made me feel like I was really there watching everything.
