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: forty chickens, twenty sheep, ten ducks, and four 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.
