Synopsis

Lizzie St. Claire wants to be invisible. Forced to move out of her home, she and her mom now live in a transitional housing shelter, Good Hope, until they can get back on their feet. She just wants to keep her head down at Good Hope and her new school so that she doesn’t have to admit the real reason she and her mom lost everything. But when Lizzie finds herself at the nearby Birchwood Stables, some new friends—along with the arrival of a frightened pony named Fire—help Lizzie to open up and accept help from those around her, even if it means she’ll have more to lose if things change again.

Goodreads review by Melanie on July 20, 2019

I really enjoyed this book. I found in it my hunt for "horse" books for my 9 year old.

4.5 stars. The 11-year-old in me fell in love with this cover from the beginning. Lizzie and her mother are in a shelter while they "get back on their feet" and there is a horse barn nearby.

A cute story, but I didn't feel as enthralled as with Steveson previous two books.

Can't wait for Steveson's next book to be publ......more

I thought I was enjoying this book because of the horses. Because I could imagine myself as twelve-year-old Lizzie hiding in the woods to watch the horses and riders at Birchwood barn, longing to belong there. When I finished the book, and emerged from the joy and tears of the horse story line, I re......more
