Phoenix

Harper’s life just exploded. Her parents are getting a divorce and eleven-year-old Harper and her mother are starting again-in a new town, with riding stables next door. Harper has never been around horses before and she does not want to learn to ride. Then a truck dumps a starved horse right in Harper’s yard. She has no idea what to do with a live horse let alone a nearly dead one. But one look at the horse’s huge eyes and something inside Harper unlocks. She names the horse Phoenix, and she will not give up on him. Neither, it turns out, will Phoenix give up on her. Will this be Harper’s first step towards new friends and new adventures? Towards riding?
