This was SUCH a sweet middle grade graphic novel. Horse girls of today are really lucky to have so many good books.
This story is one that is probably familiar to many young equestrians, but also anyone who has been in junior high. While horses are a huge part of the story, there are also stories of friendships beginning and ending, anxiety, jealousy - and how they are all normal parts of life.
I loved how the illustrations used color, especially to show the difference between Victoria's past and the present. The rosier tones really made those scenes feel like a memory.
I would have loved reading this when I was young.

I LOVE that I now have a graphic novel that I can point readers to who want
A friendship narrative
HORSES
Lovers of sci-fi shows
Getting over fears, embracing second chances, not making something be the be all/end all in life
Of course, it was an easy read (which is perfect with graphic novels). But who needs depth sometimes on a snoozy Sunday? ;)

This was so cute. As a fellow Horse Girl, I really liked reading about the kids and their different relationships with riding and horses. I really enjoyed this and the artwork is fantastic as well.

Sweet small story of a horse girl. There is some young friend drama. But otherwise it is romance free. Except for the love of horses. The art is good throughout. The writing is clean and compelling. There are no big victories, but lot's of small ones. There is perhaps a little less conflict than there would be if this were better. But whatever. Thanks Steve for pointing out that I missed one by the author.
