Tiltawhirl John

by Gary Paulsen
PRMS discard hardcover 127 pages
genre: YA realistic

The first part of this story reads like a less-entertaining version of Paulsen's The Beet Fields. The rest is about the main character's experience working with the carnival. It's a pretty standard coming-of-age story, but definitely not one of Paulsen's better told stories. I'm okay with removing it from my collection and donating it to Better World Books.
