Review: I thought the book was pretty good. At first it was boring then it started to get good. I kinda wish it was longer in a way. But it was a really good book. I thought it was so good I think everyone should read it.

Review: In my opinion Paulsen writes some great books and some so-so ones. This is one of the great ones for the description it gives of rural life and values and is tremendously evocative of a sense of place and time. I don't know if young people will have the same reaction but I'm going to give it to my eleven year old son and find out.

Summary: Popcorn Days and Buttermilk Nights
Review: Popcorn Days and Buttermilk Nights is a book about Carley moving to his Uncle's farm. Carley's uncle lives in Norsten, Minnesota, which is a big change from the big city, Minneapolis. He learned to adapt to new lifestyles and found a new hobby that he could spend his time on. Then something happens to David and Carley is the only one who could help.

I think that this is an OK book. It has great descriptions," The grass in the pasture was wet green and heavy with dew, and my feet were soaked in no time at all. But it was warm now, and the wet didn't feel bad." It has a well-written story where you can never predict what is going to happen next and some events that may surprise you.

Sometimes the book can get a little boring. Especially in the beginning, "But it wasn't summer, it was high spring. This came just before low summer, which led to high summer and low fall and then middle fall and first freeze-which led to low winter, and high winter, and so on." Near the end it gets boring again until the last event, which is my favorite.

In the end of the book David and Carley make a great achievement that nobody thought was possible, not even to Carley himself. When David gets disappointed that he doesn't have enough money to send his kids to the circus, he gets an idea. He decides to build a circus. David and Carley build a the circus rides while others joined in to make circus games and food stalls.

Review: The setting of story was Norsten Minnesota in the year 1989. The main characters in the book are a boy name Carley,David and Emily.My favorite character was the boy Carley Silly because he was funny when he fell down.My favorite part was when they ate the popcorn.I recommend this book to people 7 to ten years old because it is an interesting story about a boy who moves to a new city.
