YAOrca Currents series.
Fifteen-year-old Maddie hates her flighty single mother's latest idea for a mother-daughter summer "adventure"--a week working at an organic farm--especially since it interferes with an art contest that could take Maddie to New York City. Once on the farm, Maddie is surprised to make new friends and gain inspiration. A quick, predictable read filled with clichés but nevertheless entertaining.
