Saddle up with Winnie as she teaches her horses about unconditional love and blind trust--and learns that God can be trusted too.

Twelve-year-old Winnie Willis wants to be a famous horse trainer. She already has one client, and a second has just signed on. But the new client has only given her a week to train a horse for an important race... and the rider will be Grant Baines--the most popular boy in school. To him, Winnie is invisible.

EAGER STAR...ANOTHER WINNER FOR WINNIE

Winnie tries to adjust to her 7th grade year in a new school. She wonders why her sister Lizzie always finds it so easy to make friends, when she would rather talk to horses than people. Winnie thinks the only way she can fit in at school is to train a horse for Grant Baines, the most popular boy in school. But she only has one week in which to do this. Will she have enough time? Readers will find that once they start this book, they won't be able to set it down. And when they do finish EAGER STAR, they'll know they need to read the whole series!
