The Truth About Horses, Friends & My Life as a Coward Summary

The Truth About Horses, Friends & My Life as a Coward by Sarah P. Gibson

So you think you love horses? That's what Sophie Groves thought too. But she found out that horses are a heap of trouble. Her trials began at five years old when her mom brought home Really (a.k.a. Really Mean), the nastiest pony in Maine. Two horses later, Sophie is still learning to deal with these crafty creatures, while trying to find friends who will like her for who she is-not for her horses. Filled with hilarious horse capers and the real truth about life as a weenie, this laugh-out-loud story shows why a horse isn't always a girl's best friend.

The Truth About Horses, Friends & My Life as a Coward Reviews

The horses' personalities shine through, and they become the real supporting cast. Sophie narrates her adventures with self-deprecating humor and genuine emotion as she faces her fears, confronts a bully, and learns the importance of self-reliance, and her well-developed character makes this short and sweet tale memorable. -School Library Journal With its undemanding narrative style and Dibbley's occasional cartoon vignettes, this will entertain die-hard horse fans... -Kirkus Reviews Gibson writes vividly, with wry, self-effacing humor, about the Ballards' small island community in Maine filled with quirky characters, including Sophie's larger-than-life relatives. Dibley's cartoonlike illustrations extend the humor and action, and the clever chapter titles will help move readers through the book. -Booklist

About Sarah P. Gibson

Sarah P. Gibson grew up on an island in Maine. In addition to enduring the agonies of owning a motley trio of horses and trying to make friends, Ms. Gibson also feared sailing tippy boats and skiing down icy mountains. Her love of reading and hatred of math led her to become a librarian, and being stuck on a small island made her yearn to travel. After visiting twenty countries and living in six, she is now back on the island, where she lives with her husband and two children. Learn more about her at www.SarahPGibson.com.
