Bless the Beasts and Children


Bless the Bests & Children, written by Glendon Swarthout is a coming of age book where six boys are in a boys camp in Arizona. Cast out of several different cabins to unite together. When nobody else would take them in, a young teenager named Cotton did.

The group of boys often ran into trouble. Cotton was the one who usually pulled them through. He was the leader of the group. When tough times came in he’d always get them though it one way or another.

John Cotton is the “tough guyâ€
