Some things are the same such as her love of horses. She is very fortunate that she is able to take riding lessons over the summer. One day while she is there she meets this wild and crazy boy who is balancing on the top barn beam. His name is David, but he goes by Da. They form an instant friendship over horses. Ellen has a great summer growing up and being with Ned, the horse from her past that she still gets to ride and enjoy. I would recommend this for anyone owning the other two in the series as well as horse fans will relate to Ellen and enjoy this as a stand alone as well. Readers do not have to read the first story to understand Ellen’s passion for horses. ( ) no reviews | add a review

A young rider encounters well-known horses and new friends in the final installment of the Ellen & Ned trilogy by Pulitzer Prize winner Jane Smiley. Ellen's family has moved to a new town...but some things, like her love for horses, remain the same. Ellen is now the proud owner of her own horse, Tater. She's learning new skills and challenging herself as a rider...but she still can't stop thinking about Ned, the feisty former racehorse she sees on the ranch during her lessons. In the meantime, Ellen's making new friends and encountering old ones. Most exciting of all is Da, a boy from a riding family who is possessed of a spirit of mischief and daring and knows his own mind. Ellen still has a lot to learn...about horses, friendship, and herself. And will she ever be able to get Ned off her mind? No library descriptions found. |
