Fourteen-year-old Sidney is a talented equestrian, but since her dad died, money is especially tight. A side job at a fancy barn unexpectedly affords Sid the opportunity to compete in a show, and her success reunites her fragmenting family. Just shy of sentimental, the novel tackles complex class issues while simultaneously appealing to devoted horse lovers and the equine-uninitiated.
