Reviews
“At the core of this stirring historical novel is the question of what freedom means…The boy’s first-person, present-tense narrative brings close the thrilling horse racing—on the plantation, at the race course, and in the war—and the African American history in all it’s complexity.” ―Booklist
“[A] fast-paced tale…. Readers will find this wonderful blend of history and horses appealing.” ―School Library Journal
“Hart’s knowledge of horses and her careful research into racing history enrich every page of this nuanced novel.” ―Washington Parent
