Book Review of Colt

Colt
Colt
Author: Nancy Springer
Genre: Children's Books
Book Type: Paperback

Colt, a spunky 5th grader, wants to ride a horse more than anything in the world, but spina bifida is only one of the obstacles he will face in order to pursue his dream.

This book is easily the most heart-felt and accurate fiction book I have ever read about disabilities. It made my quadraplegic student and I feel as if someone had peeked into our lives for details. And when I read it the first time (as an elementary school student) I felt curiosity and compassion for a life that was not so unlike my own. I strongly recommend this book for both the young and old.
