Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up

Skye, Chad, and Morgan are preparing for another summer of teaching special needs children how to ride the horses at Keystone Stables. One student, Joey Klingerman, has Down syndrome, and is very outgoing and talkative to everyone he meets. Almost immediately, Joey takes a special liking to Skye, constantly calling her his girlfriend. Embarrassed and furious, Skye begins to treat Joey harshly when the Chambers aren’t around. Joey has been training hard for the Snyder County Fair, but when his horse comes up lame, Skye is forced to make a big decision; will she continue to treat him badly, or show him God’s love?

From the Back Cover

Her foster parents have opened Keystone Stables this summer to a visiting group of kids with special needs, and Skye-once an angry, needy teen herself-will help mentor them. It's a real test of her growing maturity. She's really annoyed with one of them: Joey is an outgoing and friendly Down syndrome kid who took a liking to Skye right away. She's both embarrassed and furious when he calls her his girlfriend, and treats him harshly when others aren't around. But when his horse comes up lame on the day of a major competition, Skye is faced with a big decision: will she continue to push him away or show him God's love?
