(2) YA When Janie was little, she convinced her parents to start a goat farm. Now a ninth grader, Janie narrates her first year in high school--including joining a jam band and interviewing aging civil rights activists--in her sure, smart, and sarcastic voice. Dowell gets all the details right, from shifting relationships with friends to embarrassing parents and how having a passion changes everything.
