Now things are getting scarier though. The dad of the most popular boy at school wants their horse trained - and in only a week - and not just trained - but ready to win a race! And not only that, the problem isn't really with the horse, it's with the rider: Grant may be the most popular kid at school, but he doesn't know how to connect with his horse! How can Winnie solve all these problems in only a week? | Extra Notes: | Winnie's struggles in her relationship with her dad and her relationships with kids at school continue in this second book. Winnie starts thinking of everyone around her as horses - which is great - until someone finds out they're being compared to a horse! Her attempt to make friends with some of the popular girls isn't going over that well. Winnie is not only needing to trust in God's love for her, she now needs to find her identity in Him rather than trying to win the approval of those around her. | Reviewer: | J:-)mi | Recommendation Scale: | 4 |
