A city-to-country transition, with an ornery cow in the mix

Reena’s family move from the city to rural Maine, where the beaches and blueberries she anticipates are soon joined by an unexpected set of responsibilities. Reena and her younger brother, Luke, are sent to help their neighbor, Mrs. Falala, whose collection of animals includes Zora, a stubborn cow. The changing relationship between Reena and Zora gives the story a clear thread through its account of settling into a new place and encountering unfamiliar routines. Sharon Creech tells the novel in a blend of poetry and prose, pairing a family’s relocation with the everyday work of getting to know a neighbor and her animals.

Book overview

This uplifting New York Times bestseller reminds us that if we're open to new experiences, life is full of surprises.

Fans of Newbery Medal winner Sharon Creech's Love That Dog and Hate That Cat will love her newest tween novel, Moo. Following one family's momentous move from the city to rural Maine, an unexpected bond develops between twelve-year-old Reena and one very ornery cow.

When Reena, her little brother, Luke, and their parents first move to Maine, Reena doesn't know what to expect. She's ready for beaches, blueberries, and all the lobster she can eat. Instead, her parents "volunteer" Reena and Luke to work for an eccentric neighbor named Mrs. Falala, who has a pig named Paulie, a cat named China, a snake named Edna--and that stubborn cow, Zora.

This heartwarming story, told in a blend of poetry and prose, reveals the bonds that emerge when we let others into our lives.
