size : 5.2 x 7.5From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7?In this first book in a new series, 13-year-old DJ Randall dreams of owning a horse and competing in the Olympics. DJ is a self-sufficient young woman who holds an afterschool job grooming horses, sweeping stables, and teaching younger equestrians in exchange for riding time. Because of her concern with paying back her grandmother for special jumping lessons, she and her friend Amy advertize that they will bring a pony to birthday parties to offer children rides. DJ's prayers to God for guidance are not obtrusive and fit her personality. Yet she has her stubborn, sarcastic, and hurtful ways of dealing with her mother, who is frequently away on business. Snelling has a good ear for teen dialogue. However, readers may be put off by the unexpected subplot involving James, a mere acquaintance mentioned at the beginning of the book, and his drunken, abusive father. There's a pat conclusion, which wraps everything up in a mere four pages. A satisfying story for those looking for fiction with inspirational values.?Blair Christolon, Prince William Library, Manassas, VA
