Grand Theft Horse
Review
By Eric Luper, author of SETH BAUMGARTNER'S LOVE MANIFESTO and BUG BOY
“In this Brockovich-meets-Seabiscuit tale, Greg Neri's (and Gail Ruffu's) love of horses shines through. This story grabs you straight out of the gate and doesn't let go until it gallops down the stretch to the finish line. Neri's story and Wilkin's illustrations work hand in hand to show the bone-jarring (and sometimes grim) reality of horse racing--and one woman's love for the graceful animals that make it all possible. Grab the garland of roses; Grand Theft Horse is standing in the winner's circle.”
