Eighth grade is set to be a good year for Diggy Lawson: Hes chosen a great calf to compete at the Minnesota State Fair, hell see a lot of July, the girl he secretly likes at 4H, and he and his dad Pop have big plans for April Fools Day. But everything changes when classmate Wayne Grafs mother dies, which brings to light the secret that Pop is Waynes father, too. Suddenly, Diggy has a half brother, who moves in and messes up his life. Wayne threatens Diggys chances at the State Fair, horns in on his girl, and rattles his easy relationship with Pop.What started out great quickly turns into the worst year ever, filled with jealousy, fighting, and several incidents involving cow poop. But as the boys care for their steers, pull pranks, and watch too many B movies, they learn what it means to be brothers and change their concept of family as they slowly steer toward a new kind of normal.Praise for Steering Toward Normal'Firsttime author Petrucks account of country life is never dull as she depicts the strong work ethic of cattlemen and women, along with the universal conflicts between siblings.'Publishers Weekly'The plot is full of pranks and humorous situations but at its heart, it is a story about navigating the complicated and sometimes unexpected dynamics that come with being part of a family. Petruck captures the setting of rural Minnesota well, creating a small town where it seems like nearly everyone is related or at the very least always knows everyone elses business.'VOYA Magazine'In Petrucks capable hands, raising a steercaring for it, loving it, and eventually letting it gobecomes a keen metaphor for the loss of a loved one. Diggy is a perceptive narrator, but not unusually so for his age, and its reassuring to see him sort out his tangled feelings.'Booklist
