The blurb: “Janey”s summer vacation was off to a terrible start. She was humiliated at the
end-of-school picnic: she disgraced herself at softball, sprained her ankle in the races, and then the boys started making fun of her father. She couldn’t wait to escape to Grandpa’s ranch. But even the ranch is a disappointment. Then the stallion changes everything… .”

The blurb: “Thirteen-year-old Janey learns some important lessons about friendship, prejudice, and the real nature of independence when she attempts to train a yearling colt and claim it for herself.”
