Illustrated by
Margot Apple.
In this sequel to Runaway Radish, Jane and her new pony, Popcorn, go to riding camp, where Radish teaches Jane how to be a confident rider and Radish's former students teach Popcorn how to follow Jane's lead. This beginning chapter book covers a span of several years, an unusually long arc for newly independent readers. Apple's warm sketches illustrate important points in Haas's fine story.
