Troy is a good kid with a supportive family and friends, but he lives in a hard place and has recently lost his Mom. He's confused and troubled. He gets into trouble and is faced with juvenile detention. The last thing he wants to do is muck out stall's and hang out with horses. Until he tries it. Until he meets the polo pony, Chance. Turns out, Troy's a natural with horses. He bonds with Chance, but in his new obsession with horses, he almost loses his best friend, Foster. Troy makes mistake after mistake, including lying to everyone who's trying to help. I wanted to shake him and tell him to straighten up, but I stuck with him because he stuck with Chance. In the Author's Note, Kendall writes that her inspiration for this story came from the Work to Ride Program. I can see why. It's both heartbreaking - the kids in the program have faced horrible violence in their Philadelphia neigborhoods - but the Work to Ride horse program grants them safety and hope. Don't miss the facts at WorktoRide.net, especially Kareem Rosser's story. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
