Tooter Pepperday
by Jerry Spinelli
Illustrated in black-and-white. Tooter was your average suburban kid, until her parents made her move to Aunt Sally's farm. It's not just that the pizzeria won't deliver--the vegetables on her plate were grown in a pile of compost, and everything smells like goat poop! But spunky Tooter has big plans for getting even--sabotage!
Henry and Mudge and the Wild Goose Chase
by Cynthia Rylant

Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm
by Jerdine Nolen
Harvey Potter was a very strange fellow indeed. He was a farmer, but he didn't farm like my daddy did. He farmed a genuine, U.S. Government Inspected Balloon Farm. So begins this enchanting original tall tale. Set in the rural south and populated with a truly unforgettable cast of characters--including, if you look very carefully, a rabbit, a Tyrannosaurus rex, a cat, a chicken, a cow, and a pig hidden in each remarkable illustration--this is a book that is filled with wonderful impossibilities and magical imagination. Told in the great tradition of summer nights and front porch yarns, Harvey Potter's Balloon Farm will lift your spirit right off the ground, just as it does Harvey Potter. Harvey Potter was a very strange fellow indeed. He was a farmer but not like any farmer you've ever met. He didn't grow corn, okra, or tomatoes. Harvey Potter grew balloons. No one knew exactly how he did it, but with the help of the light of a full moon, one friendly child catches a peek of just how Harvey Potter does it. And keeps some magic for herself. "This is the best sort of fantasy imaginative, inventive, and believable. Harvey Potter is a wonder he's the owner of a genuine U.S. Government Inspected Balloon farm. And Nolen's tale about this man, narrated by the African-American girl who learns balloon-farming magic from him, is equally wondrous.... This title should sail onto every library shelf. May Nolen grow a bumper crop of books." School Library Journal. "Downright glorious." Publishers Weekly (starred review).
We Were the Mulvaneys
by Joyce Carol Oates
Moving away from the sometimes dark and harrowing tone of her more recent novels, including "Zombie" and "What I Lived For", Oates's storytelling takes a profound and luminous turn in a tale that spans 25 years in the life of one American family--its rise, fall, and ultimate redemption. "It will consume you".--"The Washington Post Book World".
Goodbye to the Buttermilk Sky
by Julia Oliver
In a beautifully narrated novel of time and place, author Julia Oliver recreates a Southern summer when the Depression and the boll weevil turned hopes to dust. When twenty-year-old Callie Tatum saw the man from Birmingham coming up the road to the farmhouse, she knew she shouldn't talk to him. Her husband, Russell, was at the mill job he had taken when the cotton failed. Only her invalid father-in-law and her baby daughter were home, and Callie had no business socializing with a stranger...or beginning an affair.
