It's Seabiscuit vs. War Admiral in the race of the century!
Seabiscuit was the grandson of one of the greatest racehorses of all time, but he'd lost practically every race he'd ever run. Who would want a funny-looking racehorse on a losing streak? Enter Charles Howard — automobile tycoon, risk taker, and racing aficionado — who scooped up Seabiscuit for a bargain price.
With the support and care of a clever new trainer and a loving jockey, 'Biscuit began winning bigger and bigger races. Then came the biggest race of all. As Seabiscuit prepared to face War Admiral, the top racehorse in the country, the entire nation was on the edge of its seat: Could Seabiscuit really beat the Triple Crown champion?
This true story of hope and determination will inspire readers of all ages!

Seabiscuit: The Wonder Horse
Come on, look at that cover! doesn't it make you smile?
i thought this was well-told -- historically accurate without getting too bogged down in detail for young readers -- and the illustrations just cracked me the heck up. so winsome! i liked this author's book about the war of the worlds radio broadcast too (maybe i'll get around to reviewing that someday) -- she's got a nicely quirky sensibility and i love her character's googly eyes and grins. couple of pages in the back have great resources for further reading and give kids (and adults) a fuller sense of the historical truth. i'd definitely give this one to a horse-loving girl you don't want to go the glittery-hoofed-pony-princess route with!
