Ten-year-old Justin hates that his sisters and his mama are always
fussing at him. They make him feel stupid because he can't clean his
room or cook. But why should he? He'd rather be outside playing. After
all, cooking and cleaning is just "women's work." That's why Justin is
glad when his grandfather invites him back to his ranch for the summer.
Justin is sure he can get away from all the women and do some actual
"men's work," such as cleaning fish, mending fences, and riding horses.
But back at the ranch, Justin learns some unexpected lessons and soon
realizes that anyone can do anything once they learn how.
