Kimberly Brubaker Bradley grew up horse-obsessed in a tragically non-horsey family. When she was eighteen, she took the reins in her own hands and hasn't stopped riding since. Kim ran a pony club for kids in her home town-a big part of her inspiration for this series-all while writing Newbery Honor-winning novels The War That Saved My Life, The War I Finally Won and Night War. Kim is a fierce advocate for horses and the value of the human-horse connection. This is the horse-kid series of her heart.
'Phoenix has all the charm, wit, and fierce intelligence readers have come to expect from Kimberly Brubaker Bradley. She makes bold choices as she both educates and entertains. You don't have to love horses to love this book, but you just might find you do after reading Phoenix.' * Holly Goldberg Sloan, New York Times bestselling author of Counting by 7s and Short * 'Phoenix is a story of hope rising stubbornly above despair. Beautiful, authentic, and so moving, it’s a gripping and heart-expanding read. I read it in one sitting—it is wonderful.' * Carrie Seim, author of Horse Girl and Horse Camp: A Horse Girl Mystery * ‘Capturing the ache of growing up, Phoenix is as much about loyalty and determination as it is about horses. Kimberly Brubaker Bradley proves once again why she’s one of the finest and boldest storytellers in children’s literature.’ * Karys McEwen, author of The Paperbark Tree Committee * 'Horse-obsessed ten-year-old me would have devoured this book in one sitting.’ * Nova Weetman, author, with Emily Gale, of Outlaw Girls *
