About this book
When city-loving Tooter Pepperday’s family moves to Aunt Sally’s farm, she’s sure country life is not for her. With no cable, no playground, and no pizza in sight, Tooter schemes to prove she’ll never fit in. But the farm has surprises, from animals to new routines, that challenge her stubborn streak. Young readers will enjoy the humor, short chapters, and a spirited heroine learning to adapt and find the fun in a brand-new place.
Setting: a contemporary family farm in the countryside
