Bears on Hemlock Mountain by Alice Dalgliesh


1953 Newbery Honor

The grownups did not believe there were bears on Hemlock Mountain. Jonathan did, and he had to fetch a pot from the other side of the mountain.

A boy named Jonathan had to go up a mountain called Hemlock Mountain to go get a pot from his aunt's house. When he got there he forgot why he came and stayed and visited. Later he found out and went back. Lastly, there were two bears chasing him so his dad came to the rescue. Everyone was safe and sound.

It was good because it was very detailed.

Jonathan's mother wants him to go to his aunt's house over Hemlock Mountain. He has a fantastic time on his way there. But on his way back there are bears. The title fits very good because there were actually bears on Hemlock Mountain.

It was pretty good. The story was very well written.
