Running with Sherman is a wonderful book about a rescued donkey, Sherman, and his recovery from neglect to becoming a national racing donkey - yep, there is such a thing! This book was not intended for teens, but it is an adult book that is teen appropriate. Cool, right? There are many books like that, but for some reason I wanted this one added to the Briggs library, because who doesn't love a great animal story, right? Along the way there are many other people and animals that are part of this grand story and adventure, and you will find yourself rooting for all the good ones! Being a book written for adults, it is a bit longer than most teen books, and includes some strong language - but not a lot, and none of it just stuck in the story for the sake of writing bad words. If you are an animal lover and aren't afraid of reading something a little longer than usual, give Sherman a try. You will miss him when the story ends, I promise! 4 paws!
All things reading by a middle school librarian (and a very smart four-legged fur friend!) and hundreds of awesome students!
