Peter is now thirteen, and has new lessons to learn as he starts the long journey into adolescence and beyond. Martha, his mother, is unhappy with the recent f One of the wisest writers I've read from any era, Elizabeth Yates—winner of the Newbery Medal for Amos Fortune, Free Man —fashions yet another compelling A Place for Peter in A Place for Peter. Martha, his mother, is unhappy with the recent friction between Peter and his father, Andrew. The boy used to idolize his father, but lately Peter wants more responsibility around the farm and Andrew is hesitant to acquiesce. Peter doesn't A Place for Peter complete even the minor tasks his father sets for him, such as fetching the mail every day; why would he assign him more important jobs that could negatively impact the farm if they aren't carried out in a timely manner? Peter's frustration grows at the mundane responsibilities his father continues to give him. Martha understands the reasons they each have for their behavior, but Peter A Place for Peter Andrew can't bring themselves to open a dialogue and address the conflict. Will the peace of Peter's childhood days ever return? When an urgent letter arrives, it quickly becomes clear that father and son will have to work out their differences. Martha's youngest brother, Leonard, has suffered a devastating injury and might not survive; can Martha be spared to make the long trip and look after him for a while? Getting along without Martha A Place for Peter the farm will be hard, but Peter and Andrew are ready to try for her sake. Martha leaves them each with a personal plea to be good to each other while she's gone.

Every year before, Martha collected the maple sap in buckets and labored to make syrup for her family, but now Peter volunteers to conduct the whole operation, albeit on a smaller scale. With help from old Benj the farmhand, the sugaring is a success, and Peter feels satisfied at having transformed runny tree sap into a delicious treat for the breakfast table. The chill between Peter and his father is already thawing. Martha's A Place for Peter is delayed for months after Leonard contracts pneumonia and nearly dies. It's doubtful he would recover without her. She's been gone much longer than expected, but Peter and Andrew don't complain, knowing she needs to be there for her brother. As the seasons pass Peter shoulders an increased workload around the farm, allowing Andrew to focus on his endless other tasks. The farm doesn't earn much money nowadays, and Andrew perpetually worries he might have to A Place for Peter it. What will he do if he loses the family land? The best chance to turn around the farm's finances is for Andrew to breed his cows with bulls from Green Mead Farm, but the old roadway there is overgrown by A Place for Peter and shrubbery, impossible to traverse with a heifer in mating season. Encouraged by the maple syrup experiment, Peter suggests he use his own free time to clear the roadway. It's a monumental task for A Place for Peter thirteen-year-old A Place for Peter not long ago balked at retrieving the mail, but Peter promises to keep up with his schoolwork and chores, and Andrew agrees to let him try to clear the road A Place for Peter Green Mead Farm. What a boon it would be if he succeeds. Spring and summer are packed with adventure. Shep, Peter's loyal and A Place for Peter dog, gives birth to puppies, and Peter keeps one and names him Dusty. The pup joyously follows his mother's example to be Peter's guardian as he works the farm. Andrew assures Peter that the area he's clearing out to restore the pathway to Green Mead Farm is safe, but Benj urges caution near the rocky hillside. Andrew scoffs at A Place for Peter notion that rattlesnakes still reside there, but Benj's instincts are rarely wrong. A life-or-death encounter with rattlers would be a severe test for a boy's burgeoning manhood. Some evenings, Peter soaks in Benj's timeless wisdom under the twilight dome of sky, tucking away the old man's thoughts to broaden his own view of the world. Benj seems immortal, as though such a lovely man could not depart this world for the loss would be too great, but he won't be around forever. Peter occasionally visits Mary and Gran at their place, neighbors whose sense of humor and sincere affection lighten the mood for a hardworking farm boy. Before Martha's return, Andrew decides to trust his son with one of the farm's most precious assets for a day-long journey that could establish the farm's future for years if the job A Place for Peter done properly. It's Peter's chance to prove A Place for Peter grown into a dependable young man who loves the farm as much as Andrew does. Come what may on this physical and symbolic journey marking Peter's passage to the other side of maturity, the A Place for Peter bond and their future will be stronger than ever. A Place for Peter is awash in the beauty of wisdom. It's a joy to sit with Peter outdoors and observe the little dramas of the animal kingdom going on around him, or to accompany him on crucial tasks he must complete to vindicate his father's trust. This book offers moments of both kinds, enhanced by the author's magnificent insights. Early on, the parameters of Peter's silent feud with his father are delineated in the boy's conversation with Martha. He more easily opens up to his mother, admitting that he shirks his mundane chores because he's aggravated by Andrew's lack of trust in him. Peter thinks his father's opinion will never change. It's essential to keep in mind that no task is meaningless if its purpose is to build a sturdy trust that won't soon be eroded. The patience to slowly grow that trust is a sign you're worthy of it. That's the way we grow up. Sooner or later he'll figure out the hard parts of growing up. Benj's wisdom is a wellspring we could spend a lifetime drinking deeply from. I love his observation of what coaxes a tiny, hard seed to sprout from the soil after planting. I'm not sure that a man can go far if he hasn't first learned to bow before something bigger than he is. If Peter learns this now, he'll avoid the fruitless stress of self-centeredness. Peter has great potential, but only now with Martha away does Andrew need to test it and see what his son is capable of. Gran realizes this is a good thing. Never again will Peter be regarded as A Place for Peter than indispensable to the farm. I adore Elizabeth Yates. When the subject of my all-time favorite authors comes up, I lead with E. Her novels glow with the richness of human experience, the humor and contentment of togetherness and, for the lonely, hope that tomorrow can be better. I wish there were more books in this series beyond Mountain BornOnce in the Yearand this one, just so I could again visit Peter, Benj, and the other characters. I rate A Place for Peter Place for Peter three and a half stars, and would dearly love to reread it many times. This is a wonderful conclusion to Peter's story. Feb 26, Christine rated it really liked it. My son is away for two years and this passage articulated what I was feeling as I read his letters.
