Reach for this book when your child is facing a task that feels insurmountable or is dealing with a headstrong personality, whether human or animal. It is a perfect choice for the young teen who needs to see that initial 'failure' is often just a lack of communication and that true greatness requires both patience and grit. Seventeen-year-old Mike Benson takes on a horse that everyone else has written off as uncontrollable. As Mike discovers the horse's prestigious racing past, the story evolves into a masterclass in building trust. While the backdrop is equestrian sports, the heart of the book explores self-confidence and the rewards of seeing something through to the end. It is a clean, classic coming-of-age story that celebrates the bond between human and animal without the heavy angst often found in modern teen fiction.
