Occasional Cow

Horvath's first novel is a flip and funny view of life in Iowa. Imogene, a New York City girl, is astonished when her parents decide to send her to her relatives' home after her summer camp burns to the ground. But Imogene quickly discovers that her cousins have a distinct brand of charm. Iowans may take issue with the decidedly screwball capers that are passed off as regional behavior, but the tone of this anything-goes comedy is wholehearted fun. As exaggerated and comic as the story itself, Fiammenghi's black-and-white illustrations help put that point across.Horvath, Polly is the author of 'Occasional Cow' with ISBN 9780374355593 and ISBN 0374355592.
