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?
