Grace didn't ask for Scrub Oak. She didn't ask for her parents' divorce, or a summer on her grandparents' farm, or a brother who'd rather swing a bat than talk to her. But when Grandpa's truck is stolen in the middle of a flood and a valuable bull goes missing the same week, she stops waiting for the summer to end and starts paying attention.

​

Between long days in the watermelon field, a scruffy pony who needs her, and two boys who are clearly up to something, Grace pieces together what the grown-ups keep missing. Solving both mysteries might be the only way to prove that being twelve doesn't mean being useless.

​

Set in the summer of the moon landing, Bullheaded is a warm, lively mystery about family, friendship, and figuring out where you belong.
