May Amelia is the only girl to be born on the Nasel River for many years, in a way, she is a miracle. She has eight brothers, and the only other girls in the town are already women, like May Amelia's mother. May's mother is going to have another baby, and May hopes it is a girl, so she has someone to relate to.
May wants to be able to do the things a boy is allowed to do, like go to the logging camp.
May's family have a dog named Bosie. May's brother Kaarlo is not really her brother he is the child of some long-lost relatives, and he is mean to May. May's Aunt Alice comes over and brings treats. May Amelia helps count all the sheep. Isaiah, one of May's brothers, loves the sheep and names them after people that live near them. A sheep is named after a neighbor named Mrs. Peterson, and the sheep is hurt. Isaiah calls in his family to see the hurt sheep but they misunderstand and think they mean the neighbor is hurt. May gets caught in a bear trap on Baby Island, and some Indians help untrap her and bring her home.
Also, there is NO product placement in this section.
I think the misunderstanding with the sheep and the neighbor was funny.
