Wills is a seventh grader who's head-over-hoof for horses, and beyond excited when she gets the chance to start training at the prestigious Oakwood Riding Academy. But Amara — the Queen of the #HorseGirls — and her posse aren't going to let the certifiably dork-tagious Wills trot her way into their club so easily.
Between learning the reins of horse riding, dealing with her Air Force pilot mom being stationed thousands of miles from home, and keeping it together in front of (gasp!) Horse Boys, Wills learns that becoming a part of the #HorseGirl world isn't easy. But with her rescue horse, Clyde, at her side, it sure will be fun. Complete with comedic, original hoof notes to acquaint the less equestrian among us, Horse Girl is a funny and tender middle-grade novel about finding your forever herd.
"Eventually Wills triumphs in a jumper competition; saves her favorite horse, Clyde, from being sent to auction; and befriends everyone, including top mean girl Amara. Melodrama, angst, over-the-top writing, and clever footnotes make this a quick, breezy read for tweens." — Kirkus Reviews
