(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Kate Kiesler. When a blizzard kills much of the young stock, the bank threatens Timmy's family's ranch with foreclosure, so Timmy and her friends e-mail a plea for help that results in donations of new stock. Told as monthly almanac entries that lovingly evoke nature's seasons and the various ranch occupations, Ehrlich's novel wisely subordinates the slow-moving plot to mood and rich observation.
