this book is a little slow in the start but it's worth the chapter or two of bordom!
Classic...fourteen year old Velvet Brown is determined to turn Pie, the unruly horse she won in a raffle, into a champion and personally ride him to victory in the world's greatest steeplechase, the Grand National. Velvet soon learns that it will take more than hard work & dedication to achieve her goal - she will also need love, courage, and the magical power of childhood dreams.
A classic, this is a must for any horse person.
