Riding Lessons: Taking the Reins

Jane Smiley

£5.99

Ellen is a spirited – and occasionally misbehaving – young horseback-riding student. Ellen is only allowed to go to riding lessons when she behaves at school and at home. Ellen has a knack for speaking out of turn in class, and with a new sibling on the way, she can’t resist taking advantage of her parents’ distraction…

Description

 

Perfect for anyone who loves horses and riding, from award-winning author Jane Smiley.

Ellen’s family has moved to a new town…but some things, like her love for horses, remain the same. Ellen is now the proud owner of her own horse, Tater. She’s learning new skills and challenging herself as a rider…but she still can’t stop thinking about Ned, the feisty former racehorse she sees on the ranch during her lessons.

In the meantime, Ellen’s making new friends and encountering old ones. Most exciting of all is Da, a boy from a riding family who is possessed of a spirit of mischief and daring and knows his own mind.

Ellen still has a lot to learn…about horses, friendship, and herself. And will she ever be able to get Ned off her mind?
