This summer will be different. Thats for sure. When an eleven-year-old city boy is dropped off to stay on a farm with relatives, he doesnt know what to expect. His cousin Harris soon takes care of that. Harris is rude and crude and finds trouble at every turn. He leads his city cousin into everything from wrestling slippery pigs to catching mice to a daredevil jump out of a barn loft. And thats not all. There are swimming and cowboy movies and enough good food to fill the boys up for days. Farm life is hard but never lonely. Before long, Harriss cousin has found a place where he belongs. If only summer could last forever.
