Harris and Me is set in the 1950's and is a good look at farm
life through an 11 year old city boy. The narrator of this book is sent to live

eleven-year-old city boy meets his distant cousin for the first time. His name

Narrator to a beginning to a whole new world. Harris is one of those boys that
always get heard swearing throughout the story. He would get into trouble for
it often.
My opinion on this book is that it was kind of a funny book.
I recommend this book to people who like funny stories and want to laugh a
little. The author adds good descriptive detail. I think the books detail makes
you feel like you’re actually with them doing all the fun crazy adventures in
the book. This story is a good book to read if you want to laugh. It’s a short
story, so perfect to read on a rainy or snowy day.
