'Hannah's beloved farm is once again under threat as their landlord wants to sell up and evict them all. With homelessness looming, Hannah is determined to raise the money to buy the farm and secure the family's future once and for all.
But she's also just landed her dream part int he school play - alongside her absolute worst enemy, Miranda. How is she going to act the part AND raise two million pounds to save the farm in just six months?'
This is the first of the Hannah's Farm series that I have read and I have to say that I'll be heading back to read the first two books in the series. As a book, it was easy to get into and it didn't matter that I hadn't read the others as I quickly got to know that characters and the farm on which they live.
Hannah is thrilled at landing her dream role in A Midsummer Night's Dream and is completely committed to rehearsals until her father's accident lands him in hospital, leaving them to run the farm. It's at this point that they realise how desperate things have got in terms of finances, and when they learn that the landlord is putting the farm up for sale; they are terrified that they are going to lose their home. It's undoubtedly a team effort to raise the money and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about their efforts.
This is a heart-warming book with family and friendship at its heart; the links to the environment are deftly woven in and the sense of community is a joy to read. The Great Farm Rescue is a book that will leave you with a smile on your face and is a perfect summer holiday read.
