(2) YA Illustrated by Elaine Clayton. True Blue, sweet-tempered but easily spooked, needs a home. Horse-wise Abby (The Georges and the Jewels, A Good Horse) takes him on. Abby's story develops in satisfying ways, from her new job as a riding instructor to her estranged brother's reconciliation with their dad. It's gratifying to see good things come into the life of the likable, older-than-her-thirteen-years protagonist.
