<p><b>SUNDAY TIMES CHILDRENS BOOK OF THE WEEK</b><br><br><b>Selected for 2021s National Poetry Day</b><br><br>Following a family move to Maine, twelve-year-old Reena has no idea what to expect. <br><br>She hopes its going to be beaches, blueberries and all the lobster she can eat.

She certainly doesnt expect to suddenly be put in charge of a menagerie of animals, belonging to the irascible Mrs Falala, who not only has a fast-wheeling pig, a secretive snake, but the most ornery cow she ever thought to meet. <br><br>A wonderfully funny, moving story of one familys move to the country, and the challenges they face.</p>
