Meet Taylor McNamara: She’s twelve. She’s a city girl. But her parents have just moved her to a sheep farm in the middle of nowhere. Meet the farm animals: 40 chickens, 20 sheep, 10 ducks, and 4 goats, one of which can pee on his own head. Meet the principal and kids in Taylor’s new school: Kids tease her about her ugly barn boots and the chicken poop in her hair, yet they admire her pluck. Taylor struggles to adapt to her new life, but finds it hard to adjust to the farm’s daily surprises, especially those that prove to be embarrassing at school. With the help of her friend Megan, Taylor embarks on a nearly disastrous plan to move her family back to the city. But one lonely night, in the barn, Taylor discovers that farming isn’t all bad.

About the Author:
Catherine Friend lives in Zumbrota, Minnesota. She has written two adult books, Hit by a Farm and Sheepish and the children’s picture book, The Perfect Nest.
From School Library Journal:
Gr 4-7-Twelve-year-old Taylor McNamara has just been uprooted from her city life (and the Mall of America) in Minneapolis to a farm with runaway sheep, smelly goats, and chickens that poop on her head-right before the start of the new school year. Although she faces a string of farm mishaps, the girls at her new school admire her poise (helped by a fair share of blind luck) when faced with dress code trouble on the first day. Nevertheless, stuck on the farm with no cable TV, no friends, and itchy chores, Taylor is not only homesick, but "friendsick," and even "schoolsick." Her new pals hatch a plan to get Taylor off the farm, with an unexpected result. Although the plot has some implausible situations, listeners will probably not notice. Friend's story (Amazon Children's Pub., 2011) is humorous and refreshingly free of angst and whining. Kate Rudd's voice is perfect as the first-person narrator. She varies her tone just enough for each character, and her breezy delivery parallels the story line. An enjoyable listen for tween fans of realistic fiction.-Jane Newschwander, Fluvanna County Public Schools, VAα(c) Copyright 2011.
