A Great But Overlooked Book For Horse-loving Girls

This is actually one of my favorite books! Nobody seems to know about it, but it is a great horse book and I loved it! The story is about Callie Shaw, a girl growing up in Texas during the depression. She lives with her aunt near a racetrack, and loves horses, but her aunt doesn't approve. Eventually, she disguises herself as a boy to work as a stable boy at the track. She takes care of Pride, and makes friends with a real stable boy who knows who she is. Soon she is caught up in the racing world of intrigue. Horses are stolen, races won and lost and there is her father, a jockey she hasn't seen in years, to be found. It was a really funny horse book for girls who like adventure. And don't pay any attention to the reading level on the book. Ages 4-8 is ridiculous. Maybe 9-12 but teens can read it too. Every horse lover should read it! I hope my point is taken! Go and find this book!!!!
