(W) Nilah Magruder, Calista Brill (A) Nilah Magruder. A heartwarming middle-grade graphic novel about being the new kid* making new friends* and learning to trust yourself through the power of horseback riding. Nora is a prize-winning horseback rider in a suburban area* with a tight-knit circle of best friends. But when her mom gets a prestigious new job in a poor* rural area* she has to adjust to a lot of change: to being the only Black kid in a new class and to a new barn called Creaky Acres* where her beloved horse* Hay Fever* will make his new home. It's there she meets sweet and geeky Laura* goofy and fun-loving Wilson* and fearless Dolores (aka Dizzy). With her ragtag team of equestrians* Nora learns it's okay to stand out and steps into her power as a leader* realizing that being a rider isn't just about winning or maybe that winning just might look different than what she'd thought.
