(3) 4-6 When Willojean falls in love with a feisty, abused ex-racehorse, her doubting father gives her three months to prove she's up to the challenge. Willo, who lives with her grandfather, finally trains the horse and comes to terms with her mother's death and her father's drinking and absence. Willo is a strong, believable character in this well-crafted story.
