The Sweetheart of Prosper County

213 pp. | Feiwel | September, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-312-54856-8 $16.99
(3) YA Small-town girl Austin Gray joins the Future Farmers of America in an effort to win the Sweetheart of Prosper County pageant. Though the story deals with heavy issues (bullying, death of a parent, prejudice), the text is folksy (not overly so) and humorous. Readers will root for Austin as she follows her dream of becoming Sweetheart.
