Spoilers ahead!
Her mother (divorced) essentially blackmailed her to move to the city to live with her and go to school there. The next door neighbour is in her year at school and they have a hate to love relationship - he's a polished kid set to be a pro surfer, with perfectionist parents.
She gets up to a load of hijinks throughout the story: she steals a digger in the middle of the night and does something to his jeep. She has brought her horse with her (or maybe one of her brothers brings it up) and rides it about town. On a school field trip she sees a cow in distress giving birth in a field and she stops the bus and goes help with the calfing. She makes friends with the grumpy old man whos farm this is on then starts working on his farm.
On her farm back in the country they have a massive bull thats super grumpy but loves her and lets her ride him. He gets brought to the old mans farm in the city and I'm sure she rides the bull in town to annoy her mother or something.
I swear the book was called Avalon, but I've gone through all my book purchase histories and googled till I'm blue in the face and I can't find it anywhere. Please help!
