Summary
Buddy Richter isn't too happy about the fact that she and her family are forced to move into a rundown farmhouse after her father loses his job. Buddy is even more bothered by the fact that the kids on the school bus tease her younger sister Reenie, who has Down syndrome. As Buddy participates in a class project, caring for an egg as if it were a child, she learns some surprising lessons about the lives of her friends and the strength of her sister.

Publisher's Notes
When pigs fly, Buddy thinks, then maybe she won't mind moving into an old farmhouse or the cruel kids who make fun of her little sister, Reenie, who has Downs Syndrome. But, Buddy doesn't realize just how lucky she is--until an accident and a chance discovery reveal some important truths about best friends and family ties.
