About this ebook

Hola, Cuties! I’m Jacinda Gonzalez, almost twelve. Although I think I’m pretty nice, not to mention way cool and one of the most knowledgeable people in all things horse, I just can’t make any friends in my new school. The only things flying my way are totally rude insults. The horseback riding therapy farm where I volunteer becomes my perfect escape from mean bullies. And when Angel, a scrawny, muddy American Curly, shows up as rescue, no one but me can see her potential and lovableness, so I take her on as a project horse to get her ready for sale. But, the thing is, I don’t want them to sell her. She’d be so perfect for therapy. So perfect. Now, if only I could prove it.

Anyway, Angel’s sugar-candy personality inspires me to be sweet in spite of bad things happening to me. So, of course, I can’t resist the urge to make the world a whole lot brighter. Come on in and see how I do it!

Middle Grade, Children's book, ages 6-8, 10-12, and up. A clean, cute, touching story for any lover of horses. American Curly Horse. Girls, bullying, friendship, multi-ethnic, handi-capable, diverse kid's book, farm life, horse rescue.

Ratings and reviews

This book was sent to me as a free book in google but when I went to open it they would not let me open it. Google wants to charge for something they said was free. I am not writing a bad review able the book. I seems to be very interesting but I wouldn't know because I have not read it.

sorry but it keeps not letting me continue reading I've read up to 10-11 pages and every time I try to continue reading it the screen flashes white then black and says "we can't let you read this book" even though I am old enough to read idk if this has anything to do with the book but thats why I give it 4 stars sorry
