Selah's Painted Dream

Thirteen-year-old Selah's life is about as perfect as it gets. She has horsy friends at school, and on weekends, she rides her black mare on Grandpa's farm. Training the horse to do upper-level liberty work is what makes her heart beat.

But one word can ruin a perfect life--moving.

A move would separate her from her horse, so she plots to get her name on the farm mailbox instead. She's sure she could persuade Grandpa--except he's overly distracted by a sheep-loving neighbor.

Determined not to let Grandpa's new sweetheart take her place in his heart, Selah puts her hope in a painted dream horse from Grandpa's past. When she snugs up the girth and buckles on her spurs, Selah rides to win.
