About this Item

8vo 121pp. from front flap: "When Colt Vittorio enters a riding program, he is scared stiff--and angry. But he learns to love riding Liverwurst, his big, homely horse. For once Colt feels like a normal kid, tall and fast, instead of a spina bifida case. He's always hated being stuck in a wheelchair and having to exercise all the time. Then an accident nearly undoes all the progress Colt has made, until another boy's misfortune changes Colt's world forever." #01245. near fine: clean, tight, square. DJ near fine, NOT clipped ($13.95).

Synopsis

A young boy with a crippling disease learns, through a horseback riding program, to overcome his own anxieties and to help others in dealing with their own problems.

About the Author

Nancy Springer has published forty novels for adults, young adults and children. In a career beginning shortly after she graduated from Gettysburg College in 1970, Springer wrote for ten years in the imaginary realms of mythological fantasy, then ventured on contemporary fantasy, magical realism, and women's fiction before turning her attention to children's literature. Her novels and stories for middle-grade and young adults range from contemporary realism, mystery/crime, and fantasy to her critically acclaimed novels based on the Arthurian mythos, I AM MORDRED: A TALE OF CAMELOT and I AM MORGAN LE FAY. Springer's children's books have won her two Edgar Allan Poe awards, a Carolyn W. Field award, various Children's Choice honors and numerous ALA Best Book listings. Her most recent series include the Tales of Rowan Hood, featuring Robin Hood’s daughter, and the Enola Holmes mysteries, starring the much younger sister of Sherlock Holmes.

Ms. Springer lives in East Berlin, Pennsylvania.
