Grade 6-9 A quiet story, set on Martha's Vineyard, about one girl's 16th year, the horse she loved, and the boy who loved her. All Cindy thinks about is horses, especially the beautiful black pony called Banner and the 4-H program that teaches handicapped kids to ride. When Banner is seriously injured, Cindy becomes immersed in a nation-wide campaign to raise money for the medical bills. Eventually, she comes to terms with being a teenager, and her friendship with the gorgeous new boy in town, Tad Wainwright, blossoms into romance. There's no mention of sex, drugs, rock and roll, divorce, or any other issues or problems that today's kids face. The book could have been written in the 1950s. While this might have been a refreshing change from the more ``relevant'' junior novels, this book will still have a limited audiencepubescent girls in their horse-crazy phase. In addition, the characters are drawn too superficially to evoke much sympathy; the plot is simple, pleasant, and unexciting. Janet Bryan, North Andover High School, Mass.
