Cooney classic romance

Life is great for Marnie MacDonald-until her parents announce they're moving, taking her away from everything she knows and loves Popular high school sophomore Marnie MacDonald loves her life. Then her parents break the news: They're moving to North Carolina! And that's not even the worst part. The MacDonalds are moving with their best friends, the Petersons-including their son, Lucas, a boy Marnie can't stand. In the blink of an eye, her world is uprooted. She has to leave school, her friends-all the things that matter most. And how's she supposed to get along without her boyfriend, Joel, the super-cool jock who would have taken her to his senior prom? Suddenly, Marnie's milking goats and picking apples on a farm with no telephones, no TV, and no after-school activities. But something starts to happen after she leaves the city and "goes back to the land." She discovers a world she never knew existed-a whole new way of life. And the biggest shock of all? The boy she thought she hated is growing more and more appealing. Too bad Lucas doesn't have a clue how Marnie feels. Or does he?
