Raising Harley — Mary Tomasi-DuBois

The Jones family is busily cleaning up the yard after the big storm, when Michelle finds something unusual; it's a duck egg. They try to find who might be raising ducks in order to return it, but after a week they give up and decide to hatch it themselves.

When Michelle sees the fuzzy little bundle for the first time, she decides to call him Harley, in memory of the motorcycle rides her dad used to take her on. As his new mommy, Michelle dotes on Harley and he follows her everywhere, but she soon becomes lax in her duties, promising to be more responsible only after Mom tells her she might have to send him to a petting zoo.

The Jones' learn that the house they are renting is to be sold, forcing them to move -- now Michelle will have to send Harley away. But, to her surprise, their new condo overlooks a golf course and Harley can live there. Soon, Michelle is faced with a new problem, Mom seems to be falling in love with Will, the Country Club manager.
