Turnaround Summer - Paul Hansen

Synopsis:
Boys want men in their lives as models of what to become, as guides along sometimes shaky paths, and as companions just for sharing. Boys need men in their lives to grow into capable, confident, nurturing men for a strong and secure society. Without realizing it, fifteen-year-old Paul Hansen found what he wanted and needed to climb from youth to manhood. In Turnaround Summer, he gives us an inside peek---with humor, sensitivity, and wisdom--of the magical results from men mentoring boys. Turnaround Summer calls all men to ensure a bright future for our world by becoming that guide to manhood our boys need.

My Opinion:
In 7 words:
A boy's summer spent with his mentor.
It was a nice, light read, but I'm left feeling like it was nothing more than those 7 words. I appreciate what the author did, by sharing his own experiences, but I thought there could have been so much more added to it. More emotion I suppose.
I didn't hate it though, don't get me wrong, I just didn't love it either.
Maybe it's just a book you save for a rainy day.
(3/5)
