Bookroo's summary

Rachel, Cassie, and Joey are thrust from city life to a dilapidated farm when their father seeks work. With the school and library shut, and their father gone for two months, Rachel, the eldest, must navigate the challenges of rural life and keep her siblings safe. Can she rise to the occasion, or will the isolation and hardships prove too much? Discover how these siblings cope with unexpected independence and the trials of farm life.

From the publisher

Rachel, Cassie, and Joey live in the city with their Pop, until Pop’s search for work lands the family on a run down farm. Dreamy Rachel loves to read, and doesn’t know much about the country. Times are hard there, too–the school and library are closed. When Pop gets work near Canada, he has to leave the children on the farm alone. For two months! But Rachel’s the oldest, and she’ll make sure they’re all right. Somehow.
