"Thar goes our cow, Pa!" said the little girl. (from the first line)
| Ten-year-old Birdie Boyer can hardly wait to start picking the strawberries. Her family has just moved to the Florida backwoods, and they haven't even begun their planting. Making the new farm prosper won't be easy--what with the heat, the droughts, the cold snaps and the neighbors. |

Annotation:
Ten-year-old Birdie Boyer is excited--at last they have a new farm in the backwoods of Florida. Birdie dreams of the day that she can help start picking their crop of ripe and juicy strawberries. Making the farm prosper is not easy though: there are drought, heat, and cold snaps to suffer through. To make things worse, their new neighbors, the Slaters, are itching to feud. Winner of the 1946 Newbery Medal.
