Bria Muller is stuck on her aunt and uncle's dairy farm for the summer, and she is not happy about it. Milking cows alongside her cousins Wren and Luke No thanks.The one thing she's good at is mixing up milk shakes in the creamery. Instead of their usual vanilla, she starts crafting towering, over-the-top shakes like the ones she loved sipping back home in Chicago. Wren, and most of the customers, aren't impressed. Everyone seems to think Bria is just a snobby city girl.There is one person who appreciates the sweet, cold treats: Gabe, her cousins' cute friend who helps out on the farm. But with the family business in danger of being sold, can Bria's shakes make a difference . . . and will she ever fit into country lifePraise for You're Bacon Me Crazy: "Nelson crafts a breezy, food-focused read that teaches valuable lessons about working hard for the things and people you love. . . . Readers will enjoy the age-appropriate romance, and there are enough character development, humor, and bacon references to keep them entertained." -- School Library Journal
