The Beet Fields
by Gary PaulsenFor a 16-year-old boy out in the world alone for the first time, every day's an education in the hard work and boredom of migrant labor; every day teaches him something more about friendship, or hunger, or profanity, or lust--always lust. <P><P>He learns how a poker game, or hitching a ride, can turn deadly. <P>He discovers the secret sadness and generosity to be found on a lonely farm in the middle of nowhere. <P>Then he joins up with a carnival and becomes a grunt, running a ride and shilling for the geek show. <P>He's living the hard carny life and beginning to see the world through carny eyes. <P>He's tough. Cynical. By the end of the summer he's pretty sure he knows it all. <P>Until he meets Ruby.
The Beethoven Medal (Pennington #2)
by K. M. Peyton"There are plenty of nice steady boys you could go out with," her mother told her, but Ruth Hollis knew that beside Patrick other boys would seem insipid and dull. Ruth was quiet, but she had a streak of stubbornness in her nature, and she enjoyed a challenge. When she was younger and crazy about horses, she had always liked to ride the most difficult ponies; so perhaps it wasn't surprising that now, as a girl of sixteen, she should find herself involved with Patrick Pennington--a singularly complex, wild, and talented young man. Nevertheless, Ruth found herself wondering if this particular challenge was going to prove too much for her--with far-reaching consequences for herself and her family. K. M. Peyton, winner of the Carnegie Medal and the Guardian Award for her distinguished contribution to children's literature, has written a tender, funny, and convincing story of two very appealing young people on the verge of love.
The Beethoven Medal: Book 2 (Pennington #2)
