Description
xYoung Adult Coming of Age
After his parents' divorce, 15-year-old Jerry and his mother move from Boston to her hometown in rural Georgia for a fresh start. Separated from his father, and uprooted from his classmates and teachers, his only links to his former life are his mother and his horse. The sole bright spot in his new life is the East West Stables, where he trades barn chores for riding lessons, and learns life lessons in the bargain. He meets Jennifer, a girl his age, when he saves her horse after an accident. Together they face challenges at the stables, on trails, and at horseshows. Gradually they grow closer, and she introduces him to local teenagers. Hidden within this book is a mystery and clues are sprinkled throughout the text. This secret is the key that unlocks the full meaning of the story. This easy read/high interest book encourages teenagers to read. Several subplots weave together: autism, bullying, friendship, romance and horsemanship.
