An assault conviction lands thirteen-year-old Jas in foster care at Second Chance Farm. Determined to prove that the man she attacked killed her favorite horse, Jas teams up with Chase, a teenager hired as summer help. Quick-witted sleuthing and a lucky coincidence reveal that Jas's horse was switched with a look-alike that was poisoned for insurance money. The well-drawn setting and believable subplots add depth to the story.
