Review # 1 was written on 2014-07-04 00:00:00 Kelly M Williams This stoy about a teenage girl chasing her (at the time she's living impossible) dream in the shadow of her sick sister is one of my all time favourites. There is something about it that captivates you and urges you to keep reading. If you love horses, you can relate. If you've ever felt shadowed by an older sibling, you can relate. If you dream of the impossible, you can relate. With it's complex relationships and truthful as well as captivating story, I have to say that this is my absolute favourite book. I read it over, and over, and over again and it just keeps getting better! I first read it when I was 11, and since then it has become my go-to-book, one that I read at least once every year. I don't know what else to say. It's great!!

Review # 2 was written on 2011-10-20 00:00:00 David Lackey I read this in middle school, I think, and loved it. This is one of my favorite books. I had my mom buy me this for Christmas several years ago. I loved that this was about a girl who wanted to become a jockey, so she actually dresses as a boy so she’ll be able to ride on a neighboring farm. I remember the boy in here saying she won’t be able to dress as a boy for long, or something like that, and then looking at her chest. Her sister was a violinist, I think, and she comes down with polio, and has to give up her career. The boy in here was a farmer, and/or his dad was a farmer, and I think they were a different nationality or something, like Polish or Swedish. I seem to remember her and the guy walking along a road, to someone’s house or farm. There was this guy who worked at the horse farm she rode horses at, too. They go to a fair, and they’re sitting in the back of a wagon, and her sister is laying there and talking to the boy, and the main character gets jealous& mad. There was this one scene towards the end where she’s riding on a horse on that farm, and her hair falls out of her cap, or she lets it down, so everyone realizes she was a girl the whole time. We think her boss is going to be shocked/angry, but apparently he knew the entire time! I liked that there was a bit of romance in here. My library discarded this sometime in the last several years, so I’ve been on the hunt to find it at the local bookshop! Here’s hoping!
