Pigs and Flakes - Paperback

by Heidi Fedore (Author)

Winner of the Bronze/3rd Place award in the 2026 Feathered Quill Book Awards for the Teen category.
Gabby has made a mistake. A humiliating one.
To escape the haters, she does what any sixteen-year-old would do: leaves the U.S. and goes to work on her uncle's farm in England. Only one problem: she has zero farming experience. But it can't be that hard, right?
Surrounded by cow manure and assailed by feisty chickens, Gabby soon realizes her escape to the farm isn't going to be an easy diversion. Being the target of embarrassing pranks and grappling with unfamiliar words like "knickers" and "Flakes" doesn't exactly help, either. And her British family's version of tough love is hard to swallow.
But as Gabby falls in love with the outdoorsy life and the tranquil English countryside, she learns a lot about farming and even more about herself. Because wherever you go, there you are. And maybe, right now, Gabby is where she needs to be.
