For every kid, there's a horse that can help. At least, that's the idea at Quartz Creek Ranch. But Hanna doubts it will be true for her. Going to Quartz Creek was her mother's idea; Hanna's too terrified of horses to even go near them.Then Hanna meets Shy Guy, a gray gelding who's just as afraid of people as she is of horses. Of all people, Hanna is the one Shy Guy begins to trust, revealing his grace and skill in the arena. But when Shy Guy's mysterious past comes to light, everything they've worked for starts slipping away. Can Shy Guy's confidence in Hanna give her the self-confidence she needs to save him?

Review of 'Shy Girl and Shy Guy' on 'Goodreads'

A wonderful debut - and pretty much everything you want in a book with a horse and a girl on the cover. Full of wonderful characters - both human and horse, facing fears, and standing up for yourself and the people (and horses) you love, this book is about growth, friendship, and learning about yourself in ways both wonderful and terrifying.

Full of great horse scenes, great Middle Grade relationships, and a harrowing finale, this is a book for every kid who feels a little lost sometimes. And for every kid who simply loves horses.
