Remedy

Everything in thirteen-year-old Tim McGrew's life stinks. It was bad enough his dad left, but even worse, he must move to his grandparent's remote ranch on Nowhere Mountain, leave his friends and school behind, and give up playing baseball. He loves his wacky grandma and enjoyed summer visits at the ranch backpacking and horseback riding with his grandpa. But now Grandpa is dead. And Tim and his dog, Tiny, are the only males in a house full of women. To top off his problems, Grandma adopts a wild burro from the Bureau of Land Management and expects him to train it.For both the city kid and the burro, adjusting to their new home is difficult. Tim hopes it's true that Grandpa's ghostly vibes still linger around the ranch because he needs help taming the long-eared donkey with a noisy bray, and, even more importantly, needs advice on how to get his parents back together.
