Riding Lessons by Jane Smiley, 183 pages
Ellen has a mind of her own and doesn’t always behave the way
she should but she tries to behave most of the time so that she can keep taking
riding lessons. She loves horses and
riding and especially jumping. She is
excited when she meet a new horse, Ned.
Ned seems to talk to her and Ellen is always happy when she gets to see
him. She wants nothing more than to own
a horse of her own someday. This is a
great book for kids who love horses.
It’s historical, but not much in the story is dated. It’s definitely realistic, but has a more
slice-of-life feel to it.
