Produktbeschreibung

Shy farm girl Joni's new friendship with animal rights activist Chess unravels when Chess's views push Joni too far in this layered coming-of-age story about two girls and their love for horses. Joni's world revolves around her beloved horse, Archie, and her family's Vermont sheep farm. When outspoken, sophisticated Chess moves nearby, Joni is drawn to her, even though Chess questions everything Joni loves-working horses, eating cheese, having pets, and even the farm itself. Torn between desperately wanting a friendship and resenting Chess's assumptions about horses and farms, Joni mostly keeps her opinions to herself. But when Chess steals their neighbor's miniature horses to "rescue" them, Joni finds the courage to stand up for her beliefs. With quiet intensity, this timely novel tackles the complex issue of bridging the political divide and building friendships while staying true to yourself.
