About this ebook
A contemporary and irresistible story from Patricia Reilly Giff
Lidie lives in Jales, Brazil, where she’s free to ride, to be a wild girl, and to dream of going to live with her father and older brother, Rafael, in New York City. Finally Lidie is 12—time to leave Brazil for New York.
Meanwhile, a filly is born and begins her journey to a new home. As Lidie’s story unfolds, so does the filly’s.
Lidie’s father runs a stable at a famous race track, and Rafael is training to be a jockey. As much as they want to make Lidie feel welcome, they still think of her as the little girl they left behind. They don’t even know what a strong rider she is, and that she’s determined to befriend and ride the wild filly her father has just bought: Wild Girl.

Well, i was at school, and in 2nd period, we had to go to the library to pick 2 books for our book project... all the good ones that i wanted to read were gone, and i saw "Wild Girl" sitting by the librarian. She said it was a good book, but i couldn't understand how. it didn't look like a book i would want to read! i read it, addicted. i dont like horse races, but i LOVE HORSES! i finished, wishing i still had more to read... IT WAS AMAZING. Lidie has such courage to run out of a school. ;D I loved it! You should read it if you haven't already!!

I read this book when I was in the fourth grade so when my Middle School had a day where the gave out free cookies AND BOOKS I knew I had to check it out and when I did I found this book. I saw it and had to reread it. It was incredible. I normally read books much larger like Harry Potter within days, they are interesting but do not portray realistic fiction like this. I took weeks savoring every word. It is an Incredible book.
