(4) 1-3 Jake Maddox Girl Sports Stories: Olympic Sports series. Illustrated by Katie Wood. Text by Emma Carlson Berne. In this fast-moving sports story, Mia's carelessness threatens her volunteer job at the riding center. The story is predictable, and the cartoony black-and-white illustrations don't add much. However, this low-level chapter book should appeal to horse-loving struggling readers. Discussion questions, writing prompts, and horse facts are appended. Glos.
