![]() ![]() Strengths: I loved the island, agricultural setting, and all of the details about what it would be like to live on an island. ![]() Can Billie make sure her family gets along, her pumpkins are successful, and her friendship with Sam gets repaired? As the summer progresses, she and her friend Cami work on their pumpkins and hope for the best. Billie sells honey at a local farmer's market, so much of her energy is focused on her hives, and the family llamas (who spit a lot!) are her responsibility as well. Her mother goes into labor early and brings home a colicky younger brother for Billie and her sister Marylee, and a grandfather she has never met shows up unexpectedly. Sam has gotten his pumpkin seeds in early this year, but Billie is facing many challenges with her family. Last year, her best friend Sam beat her, and the two have had difficulties for a variety of reasons, even though they reigned as polka king and queen at the last year's festival. Every year, the community has a pumpkin race, and Billie has been the champion most years. ![]() Billie lives on Madeline Island in Wisconsin, and her family has bees, llamas, and some crops. ![]()
