Bless the Beasts and the Children
Overview & Summary
Six misfit teenage boys, all rejects from other cabins at a summer camp for troubled youth, bond together as "the Bedwetters" and, appalled by a planned buffalo hunt at a nearby game preserve, set out on their own to free the animals before they can be slaughtered. Glendon Swarthout's novel is a story of underdogs finding purpose and courage together, and it became a well-known anthem of youthful idealism against senseless cruelty.
