That’s Not Hay in my Hair, is a story written by Juliette Turner. She is a 14 year old who was moved from the big New York City, to her mom’s ranch in Texas. When the book opens it is the end of the school year in New York and Juliette is going to her end of year party and getting ready for the move, goodbye’s are always tough. Once she gets to Texas she has to adjust to living in a new place and a different setting,the ranch versus the city. I would say the book covers a summer’s span of her life. The book is an account, in my opinion, of her summer on the ranch: cows in a ravine and road, stranger popping over in the wee hours to let you know your animals are out, sick animals and newbies just born are all a part of this new lifestyle Juliette has been moved into. I enjoyed reading about her adventure, however, it wasn’t as exciting as I thought it would have been with the creative title. Let me explain…I live in a rural area and have experienced a lot of the agriculture mishaps and “adventures” that come with that lifestyle. Every day on the farm is an adventure when you are raising animals.The experiences that Juliette and her mom experience are all part of the adventure of life on a ranch or farm.
A great story for those who have never experienced farm or ranch life. I can attest that this is really what life is like when raising animals!
