Grade 5–8—When her grandfather is injured in a tractor accident, eighth-grader Cassie accompanies her father and pesky younger brother from Oregon to Ruben's bedside in rural Kentucky. She has never met her grandfather and is determined to learn why he and Dad don't get along. Ruben lovingly welcomes the youngsters, gives them information about farm life, and keeps them entertained with a steady stream of corny jokes. Cassie thinks often about her mother, revealing that she died on a gray, stormy day, but sharing no additional details about the incident. She uses memories of her mother's spirit and no-nonsense brand of advice to fuel her determination to learn the true cause of the animosity between her father and grandfather, a revelation that is surprising and satisfying. Cassie's encounters with Ruben's neighbor Vicki and her son TJ provide additional drama to this tale. The novel's simplicity, humor, action, and warmth will appeal to a broad range of readers.—Laura Scott, Farmington Community Library, MI
