Cute, predictable, nothing mind-blowing, but enjoyable. The writing style was fine. Possibly the best part was- no weird, stupid names!! I'm so sick of weird names in j fic. Anyway, I did think about Bonnie the whole time they were doing the lamb birth scenes. Appropriate for a younger audience of stronger readers. She is making poor choices, but ends up turning it around. Like I said- enjoyable, a nice sweet read about a girl learning to coop with what life's handed her.

Barn Boot Blues by Catherine Friend follows Taylor McNamera a girl whose parents pick up and move to a farm from the city. Taylor not only has to adjust to a new school and community but she also has a new burden of farm chores. Can she convince her parents that they need to move her away from the farm?

This is a great book that tweens will really love. Taylor has a personality and a basic set of problems that kids will be able to relate to. I sped through this book, unable to put it down.

Appropriateness: There is no adult content in this book. I would recommend it for readers 10-14

A cute, non-threatening book that I could easily hand a fourth or fifth grade girl.

This book was so stinking cute, I would have appreciated it more though if I read it in middle school... It just made me want baby goats even more, even though the focus was more on baby sheep...

Cute. Predictable, but something I think kids will like. I know I would have as a 10 year old.
