Chancey of the Maury River

(2) 4-6 This novel revives the sentimental horse story to magnificent effect. Erudite narrator Chancey, an albino Appaloosa, helps heal the spirit of ten-year-old Claire, whose parents are getting divorced. After Chancey and Claire's first show ends in a dangerous injury, Chancey becomes a therapeutic riding horse. The story is immediate and fascinating, and Amateau's own sound horsewomanship is on display.
