Excellent book for middle school reluctant male readers
My 5th grade son has always had a hard time getting focused on the books his teachers have assigned him to read. I saw your book "Summer & Shiner" online at Amazon.com and thought that my son would get a kick out of it. Once he started reading it he couldn't put it down. I am usually pretty strict about his bedtime, but when he wants to stay up later, just so he could finish the chapter, I let it slide. He has just finished the book and can't wait to read more about the adventures of Carley and Troop. Thanks for getting my son excited about reading.
Perfect
This book is by a local author for us. It is a perfect story for young boys. As an adult I also appreciated it. Was thankful to see it available on Amazon. I had borrowed my friends copy when I first read it. Now I will have my own copy to share with my grandsons.
Blast into the Past!
Nolan Carlson has made time travel into the past possible with his book: Summer and Shiner! You will get sucked into the world of Carley Bimberg, his best friend Troop, and his pet raccoon Shiner. You'll be able to be a part of Carley's world, small town Kansas in the 1940's. The reader will see Carley rescue a raccoon and become friends with him,do chores,accept dares, have his courage tested, meet gypies,learn, laugh, and grow up like a regular kid.
In Summer and Shiner I felt like I was there, understanding them, their feelings, I got to know them. Nolan Carlson has really captured the essence of enjoying and exploring life as a kid. I could really understand Carley, Troop, and the rest of the gang. When they laughed, I laughed to because it was humorous. In somber situations I could feel how they felt. What's also great about this book is that a lot of it really happened in real life, 75% of the events occurred. This was great, if you experienced something and write about it, it always seems more realistic or believable. The books are short and a pretty easy read, so it is excellent for hesitant readers. However, readers that are more accomplished may feel that the book is too easy. Besides that fact, Summer and Shiner is an excellently crafted and formed book with great adventures for kids anywhere. Overall I believe that Summer and Shiner superb book with a great heart that would not be easily forgotten.
Harkens Back to a Bygone Era
School is out for the summer in Randall, Kansas. It is the late 1940's and Carlisle "Carley" Bimberg and his best friend, pure-blood Cherokee, Bryan "Troop" Whitewater are walking through the woods. They have finished the chores for the day and are just being boys.
They encounter a racoon that is caught in a trap that was left by a careless hunter over the winter. They rescue "Shiner" and Carley makes him a pet, with permission from his parents.
Shiner is the best pet that Carley could hope for and goes with him everywhere.
