What is normal? Who decides what normal is? Big questions for a middle school audience but that is exactly what our character, Lizzie, has to figure out when her life is turned upside down. With a father in jail for something that Lizzie herself doesn't quite understand and having to move and live in a temporary shelter, Lizzie slowly figures out the importance of family and friends and what "normal" means. With therapy coming in the way of hard work in a stable and getting comfort from animals, Lizzie learns that flying solo doesn't always mean by yourself. Beautiful heart-print story.

A cute story, but I didn't feel as enthralled as with Steveson previous two books. I know I'm going to contradict other readers who said you don't need to be a horse-lover to appreciate this book, but I'm sure I would have liked it better if I were one. Can't wait for Steveson's next book to be published! Maybe it'll get me the feeling I had while reading [b:Georgia Rules|31371238|Georgia Rules|Nanci Turner Steveson|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1479857276l/31371238._SY75_.jpg|52060102], that I strongly recommand.

5*: Sad to finish it, this book was amazing
4*: Really liked it!
3*: Liked it
2*: Fell asleep a couple of times during my reading... but not entirely boring!
1*: Why did I bother to finish it?!
