What's Horse Camp About

Publisher Summary

When their mom said she was sending twelve-year-old Percy and Penny and their little brother, Pauly, to stay with an uncle they d never met, she tried to make it sound better by saying that Uncle Stretch s farm was a horse camp. Well, the farm animals are actually chickens and pigs, and the only two horses are mean-tempered and not too keen on being ridden by kids. As Penny puts it, This farm is like the eighteenth century, but way worse! The water has a rusty taste, and all the meat used to be animals on the farm. If there is one thing the twins can agree on, it s that between endless chores, no Internet or cell phones, and the prospect that their mom might have to stay in jail (even though some people say she s a hero), horse camp is a big, fat joke. Will they ever have a real family again? Or is there a family for them right here? Nicole Helget and Nate LeBoutillier have written a funny novel about farms and family, animals and antagonism and the paths kids take, sometimes while living in the same house, before coming home.”
