Since moving to Aunt Sally’s farm, Tooter has been certain that country life is not for her—especially with no pizzeria for miles. Determined to prove herself, she sets her sights on winning the blue ribbon at the County Fair’s goat show, but caring for her spirited little goat brings unexpected challenges. As the competition approaches, Tooter discovers that success involves more than trophies and applause. With humor and warmth, this lively story explores friendship, perseverance, family, and finding confidence in an unfamiliar place.
