Ride a Horse Not an Elevator Lisa Saunders 第2 版

A test of young courage. Lisa is a chubby city girl searching for friendship and excitement. She leaves home, and the elevators and bullies of a big apartment complex, to spend a summer in the country at her grandparents' farm. Culture shock! Accompanied only by her loyal beagle, Donald Dog, Lisa faces a summer in a very different environment with its own challenges and dangers. Using an outhouse is the least of her problems! She is terrified of her new pony. Lisa's grandfather is injured by a charging cow and needs her to ride the pony to get help. Book includes Study Guide, Workshop for aspiring writers, and sample horse facts and worksheets from Cornell University's "Horse Book in a Bucket" Program.
