Sinossi

A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year: “An utterly disarming, believable portrait of a small-town adolescent.”—The New York Times An ALA Best Book for Young AdultsOne of New York Public Library’s Books for the Teen-AgeAn American Book Award Nominee   Tex McCormick, fifteen, is happy—happy living in a small town in Oklahoma; happy living with his big brother Mason; and especially happy to live next door to his best friend Johnny, and Johnny's sister Jamie. But with money running out and no sign of Pop for months on end, Mason is getting nervous. He's talking about leaving Oklahoma too, for good. Feeling adrift, Tex goes looking for—and finds—trouble. When happiness is impossible to find, how will Tex keep himself and his family together?   This classic by the author of The Outsiders and Rumble Fish explores the true meanings of strength and vulnerability.   “In Tex, the raw energy for which Hinton has justifiably reaped praise has not been tamed—it’s been cultivated, and the result is a fine, solidly constructed, and well-paced story.”—School Library Journal

    LIGHTS … CAMERA … GIDDYAP? 
     
    Billy is a Norwegian Fjord horse—short as horses go, but with the natural star power of a Hollywood celebrity. Lori Allegria is a horse-loving seventh grader as awkward as she is tall for her age, who finds refuge from her shyness on her family farm with her best friend: Billy, the Fjord. 
     
    Their peace is shattered when Billy is “discovered” by Marlowe Narang, superstar kid actor, and given the opportunity of a horsey lifetime—to star in a film! And with that, the chance for Lori and her mom to save their struggling stables. Lori tearfully agrees to send her horse to a new  
    life across the country on the set of Marlowe’s newest Hollywood production, a Western set in a real ghost town. 
     
    But Billy’s star turn is cut short when a mountain lion stalks the desert set and sends him fleeing into the Mojave. When word gets back to Lori, she runs away too—to find her Billy! Lost in the vast desert, as horse and girl make their way to each other, Lori and Billy both find they are not alone. 
     
    The Star Horse is a story about finding your herd—human and horse—and along the way, finding your voice.
