First Boy by Gary Schmidt
This is one of those books that just feels good to read. The good guys are rewarded. The bad guys are punished. Even though some sad things happen, everything works out in the end. I usually enjoy Schmidt’s books, and this one was no exception. Cooper is a 14 year old boy, who is left running his family’s dairy farm by himself after his grandparents both die. Then some strange things start happening, and Cooper must learn who he can trust, and who his true family is. If you enjoy E.L. Konigsberg’s books, you will also enjoy this book, as it is written with a similar feel.
