(a few reader reviews).
Matty's Whisper (1992).
"After being badly injured in a car accident, 12-year-old Mattie tries to give up her love of horses and her wish to have her own. But when she saves a lame race horse and nurses it back to health, she is able to begin her own healing."
The Hero of Third Grade (2002) with Cynthia Fisher (Illustrator).
"It all seems like too much for Randall. His parents have separated, plus he has to move to a new town and start a new school. How will he make friends when the school year is nearly over? Luckily Randall gets a fantastic idea from an old movie ('The Scarlet Pimpernel')."
How to Survive a Totally Boring Summer (2007) with Cynthia Fisher (illustrator)
"It's Randall's first summer in a new town, and it's looking like the next few months are going to be pretty boring. Once he and some friends start a chess club, Randall begins to change his mind about his new home, until a grumpy old man and a class bully threaten to ruin everything. It takes all of Randall's patience and some clever ideas from an unexpected source to sort things out and get back to fun and games. (less)"
The Best Horse Ever (2010) with Ronald Himler (Illustrator)
"For Abby, it's a dream come true. She's finally going to have her very own horse: Griffin, a beautiful bay. Abby can't wait to ride, brush, and feed him, and doesn't understand how her best friend, Devon, could be afraid of such a wonderful horse. She certainly could not have guessed that Devon would get so mad at her for saying so. Yet when Griffin arrives, he does seem awfully big and hard to handle. Can Abby learn how to mange her horse and her friendship?"
