Publisher Description

The wonderful grandmother whom listeners saw through the eyes of a young boy in The Cookcamp reaches out to him when he is fourteen, offering him a haven from his harsh and painful family life. She arranges a summer job for him on the farm where she is a cook for bachelor brothers Gunnar and Olaf. Farm life offers the camaraderie and the routine of hard work, as well as good food, peaceful evenings spent making music together, and even dancing lessons. Life with Alida gives the boy strength and faith in himself, drawing him away from the edge and into the center of life.

"Very good, but I think it needs some development in the characters Gunnar and Olaf. If it was longer i would be very happy because it feels, and is, really short in the amount of pages. Gary Paulsen describes the setting better than most authors I have read."

    " This is a charming story with a sweet ending. However, it really bugged me that Paulsen didn't give themain character a name. He is called "the boy" throughout the book. I found that this kept me from really caring about him. It is a good short story though. Paulsen paints the scenery well. "

    " A quick read. Good for young children; especially those trying to get in extra hours for homework. The story is about a young boy who lives with some older gentlemen on a farm; good moral. "
