Barn Boot Blues / Catherine Friend / 142 pages

This Mark Twain nominee is fairly interesting.  Taylor is from the big city of Minneapolis and an only child.  Her parents have moved her out to a farm in the middle of nowhere.  Now she must go to a new middle school and make friends as well as adjust to farm life.  oh, did I mention- her parents didn't get any satellite so there is also no tv  or internet.  "Erk!" as Taylor says. 
She, of course, hates the farm.  She has unfortunate mishaps that do not help her adapt.  Her parents are always busy so she is really on her own.  The plot is how she can get them to move back to the city and what happens that changes her entire view of farm life.
Good book.
