Sample<\/a><\/p>\n

Ten-year-old Jeff is spending the summer of 1943 at his grandparents\u2019 house. He has failed English class, and his teacher has threatened that if he doesn\u2019t master his reading and spelling at home, he\u2019ll have to go to summer school, or he won\u2019t be promoted to the fifth grade. So Jeff\u2019s parents have sent him to \u201cDad and Maw\u2019s\u201d small farm in central Texas to help him change his attitude and focus on his assignments. Jeff is indignant. Who needs reading or spelling anyway?<\/p>\n

There are plenty of chores to do on the farm, and Jeff actually enjoys many of them. Unfortunately, his grandfather usually pairs him with Monday, the most stubborn, cantankerous donkey that ever lived. Monday makes every task harder, and Jeff can\u2019t imagine why his granddad keeps her\u2014nor why he insists on making Jeff use her instead of either of the other two donkeys.<\/p>\n

But as cranky and crafty as Monday is, Jeff can\u2019t deny that she\u2019s also extremely intelligent and surprisingly brave. She proves her worth again and again, and yet every time Jeff thinks he\u2019s starting to like her, she does something that makes him feel the opposite. Even so, as the summer wears on, he discovers a growing affection for her. At the same time, he finds that he doesn\u2019t mind reading to Maw so much. In fact, he\u2019s on track to complete his assignments for the summer.<\/p>\n

And then something terrifying happens to bring home the realization of how much Monday truly means to Jeff, leading him to new perspectives that will shape his views for the rest of his life. Monday, it turns out, has some pretty important lessons to teach\u2014in her own contrary way, of course.<\/p>\n
