      A poignant story about persevering through challenges, respecting family and taking on responsibility and risks. The relationships between characters include not only those among fellow humans, but instructively, also horses extending the tale's arc into the realm of a coming-of-age classic.

2 thumbs up from a horsey reader
     This review was authored by my 10 year old daughter.
The book was very fast paced and had several unexpected twists. I loved it and I would recommend it to my friends, including non-horsey friends. As a horse rider, I found the horse portions very accurate and enjoyable.
