For horse kids of all ages

Absolutely adored this horse girl story! I know it's meant as a fun graphic novel for middle schoolers, but it was also incredibly accurate to how preteen/teenage riders are. I rode a lot as a kid and stopped at about the age of the girls in the book and it just felt very relatable, from the actual horse experience to the reality of how expensive it is to be any kind of equestrian. Whether you're there to ride casually like Victoria likes or more competitively, horses are expensive and there's not really a way around it. Even though the main focus of the story is the horse aspect, I liked that there was the discussion of moving on from friends once you no longer have things in common or they don't have your best interest at heart. It hurts, but it's a reality kids have to face sometimes. And finally my favorite part was when they cosplayed at the Renaissance Festival! I loved going to the Renaissance Festival and one of my favorite things was seeing Star Trek or Doctor Who cosplayers walk around and play along with the Festival cast! Overall, a very fun and great read for young horse girls and even us adults who were once (or maybe still are horse girls). Thank you to NetGalley and First Second Books for making this available in exchange for an honest review!
