Perfect for anyone who loves horses and riding, from
award-winning author Jane Smiley.
Ellen's family has moved to a new town...but

She's learning new skills and challenging

Ned, the feisty former racehorse she sees on the ranch during
her lessons.
In the meantime, Ellen's making new friends and
encountering old ones. Most exciting of all is
Da, a boy from a riding family who is possessed of a spirit
of mischief and daring and knows his own mind.

and herself. And will she ever
be able to get Ned off her mind?
