Summary: Funny, Great Book for ALL Ages!!!
Comment: I know this book is recommended for grades 6 and up, therefore giving the impression it is only good for kids. Well, I am a 36 year old 'kid at heart' person that thoroughly enjoyed this book.
I was given this book by a friend that thought I would get a kick out of it, and that is exactly what I did. I laughed out loud many times during the reading of this book.
Basically this book is about an 11-year old boy that is taken to a distant relative's farm for the summer to get away from his drunk parents. The Larsons, consisting of Uncle Knute, Aunt Clair, Glennis, and 9-year old foul-mouthed cousin: HARRIS.
At the Larsons, he finds himself in more trouble than he could ever imagine. That summer leads him to discover what happens to a bike when an old motor from a wringer washer is attached to a rickety bicycle, what happens when pee hits an electric fence, and what love feels like.
This book is filled with mischief and trouble and will send streams of tears down your face from laughing so hard. I, myself, personally enjoyed this book and literally could not put it down. I recommend this book to anyone with the good sense to buy it.

Summary: A Touching Story
Comment: HARRIS AND ME, by Gary Paulsen, is a heartwarming hilarious book about a boy who goes to live with his cousins Harris and Glennis, and their parents. The narrator learns to love his life om the farm. Harris is a bad-mouthed boy who swears but can never get away with it while Glennis is around.The two boys go on imaginative and funny journeys, such as the time when they rode Bob and Bill. Bob and Bill are very large horses that look like oversized buffalo. It's not every day that you get to ride a horse and shoot off your father's gun. This is imaginative because usually you could never play with guns, and this story is almost a little unreal.The reason the boys shot off the guns was because they were trying to immitate the old film they watched in town while drinking pop. As they try many tricks throughout the book they get in trouble along the way too, that almost always end up with a good laugh.Gary Paulsen just keeps you going with the giggles.I would recommend this book if you like funny stories.

Summary: The Summer Of Your Life
Comment: If you like a book that has fun adventures lots of laughter and exciting stories, than you should read Harris and Me by Gary Paulsen. While you read you can get a great picture of what is going on in the story and get to know the characters. As you read you see the story through the boys eyes, he lets you see what really happened and how he felt, while things were going on at the farm.
Harris and Me is about a 13-year-old boy who was having trouble at his home so he goes to live with his relatives on a farm. When the boy got there, he had no idea what kind of a summer he would be getting himself into. The boy's cousin, Harris, likes doing crazy things. One thing he did was try to land on a horse's back by jumping off the loft. Harris is always getting into trouble, every day. His sister Glennis is always hitting him for doing something wrong. While the boy is there, he learns who he really is. He didn't just find a home, but he also found a friend.
I would rate this book a four because it has detail and exciting things happen to the characters. I wouldn't rate it a five because it does have some boring parts for a little while but after it gets really good. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to have fun while reading a book and laughing aloud.
