Title: The Beet Fields
Review: This book is such a disappointment. Gary Paulsen has written so many fine books for children that many parents and libraries will order this as a matter of course. The CIP states that this is "juvenile literature". I bought the book for a small town library. I will be returning it unprocessed. Perhaps -- and this would be very sad -- there are children as young as 14 who are "ready" for this book, but the children of our community are not.
