Review - First Boy

I just finished listening to First Boy by Gary Schmidt. The plot of the book involves Cooper Jewett, a farm boy. When his grandfather dies Cooper intends on keeping the farm running, remembering his grandfather's phrase of fondness for him, "You're my first boy, Cooper, my first boy." But keeping up with school and his other farm chores is running him ragged. When a local senator comes campaigning through town, along with the U.S. President, a mystery begins to unfold, and it turns out that "first boy" may have more than one meaning.

Appropriate for any children, it is a okay story. But it's not the best story I've ever listened to. Now I'll listen to The True Meaning of Smekday by Bahni Turpin.
