This story is a humorous account of Sophie Groves's struggle to overcome her fear of horseback riding, make friends, and put up with her outlandish family. Occasional black-and-white cartoons highlight some of the funniest parts of the story. Many kids, not just horse lovers, will be able to relate to Sophie's hopes and frustrations.
