by Judy May
Synopsis:
Penny's been miserable since her family moved to live on a farm. New home, new school, equals no friends... Penny's story is sure to strike a chord with older readers of 10 and over.
About the Author:
Judy always wanted to read books that had adventure, a mystery to solve, a new skill (like skating or ballroom dancing or singing), a big fat Romance, and some problem that needs fixing (like you think your parents want to sell you to a Bedouin tribe!) She wanted to read books where you were laughing out loud one minute and crying the next. She couldn't find books that did all that, so she went and wrote them herself!
