A girl who longs for her own horse is given the chance to care for a troubled, damaged horse, who needs her as much as she needs him.

This is an ideal choice for those YA readers who like a good horse story; well, a good horse and rider story. Jane is 14 years old, a fine rider, who works at the local stable, lovingly caring for Beau, the horse the owner lets her ride in classes. The plot is about one summer at horse camp. The family of a younger student purchases Beau, and Jane has to endure the loss. She also needs another horse to ride, and one available horse is a wild thing, Lancelot. Can Jane find a way to tame this horse and ride him in competitions? You betcha! It's a good story, detail by detail. Jane has a friend in Ben Reyes, the grandson of owners, who also helps out at horse camp. More than just being about a horse and a girl, this story also is about class differences, since Jane is a middle-class girl who feels poor next to the snobby rich girls from her private school and riding classes. This summer she must make a decision about what high school to go to in the fall. Horse lovers will be satisfied with the many details about care of horses, training of horses and riders, and stable management. Reviewer: Claire Rosser
