Friends Among Wildflowers

Lucy’s fondness for New Moon Farm continues to grow, along with the success of her picture books about its animals. With the special fair days reinstated for children to visit the llamas—and baby alpaca Newton showing surprising resilience despite his condition—Lucy finds herself looking to the future with ideas bigger than she ever before imagined.

But change is not as easy as making bold plans. There’s a pair of ‘rescue’ sheep in need of a home, and Lucy’s attempts to enfold them into the farm prove difficult, even with the help of vet Arthur Elliot. And then there’s the enthusiastic wish shared with her by Simon, the resilient, chronically-ill little boy, whose special bond with Llarry the llama brings a quandary Lucy is uncertain she can face.

Being brave isn’t Lucy’s strong point, but she’ll have to be if she wants to do bigger things in life. The question is, will these big plans bring the kind of change Lucy imagines for herself and for the future?
