Seabiscuit: An American Legend

medium-paced
A knobby-kneed horse with a noble lineage, a translucent trainer, a tall, red-headed jockey, and two owners who yearned to achieve the impossible formed a close-knit family. They were fiercely protective of Seabiscuit. This small group of individuals and the unwavering horse managed to provide a temporary respite from the country’s pressing issues and a glimmer of hope during the Great Depression. Reading books by Laura Hillenbrand is akin to reading any other story; it feels like fiction but is, in fact, nonfiction. Readers will be on the edge of their seats while immersed in the thrilling world of horse racing.
