Katie becomes horse crazy, and her dad takes her and her friends to a ranch to try riding. Katie's enthusiasm turns to nerves when she sees the size of the horses in real life, but with her dad's promise to stay nearby, she climbs aboard.

I like the Katie Woo books, but I wish there was a little more useful information in them - in this case, advice for being around and riding horses. It reminded me of Upside Down Magic (middle grade) in that way. ( )
