Old Ramon
by Jack Schaefer
Awarded a 1961 Newbery Honor, Old Ramon tells the timeless coming-of-age story of a young boy who spends a summer with an old shepherd in the Mojave Desert. He leaves his textbooks behind for real life lessons with Ramon as his mentor. He learns not only how to care for the sheep but how to overcome fear, how to face death and responsibility, and the difference between being alone and being lonely.
Written in Schaefer's charming and engaging style, the novel details a boy's discovery of both the value of friendship and the hardship of life.
