I have a new favorite #mglit author - Chris Platt - and a new favorite book - Willow King! 13-year-old Katie has a #disability - one leg shorter than the other. So when a colt is born with twisted legs, she saves him from being put down and raises him to be a champion. She also faces two #bullies and comes out better just through her goodness and a little help from others who appreciate her.

CherylRainfield I love Katie's grit & determination, her emotional strength & goodness, & her insecurity that gradually changes into a quiet confidence. I love that both she and the colt doggedly work with their challenges, & thrive and succeed. Katie is such a good and strong character, a bullied underdog who blossoms. I cheered for her throughout the book. 8y
CherylRainfield I also loved her supportive mother and other caring characters. I felt both inspired and comforted by the story, the way Anne of Green Gables and Heidi make me feel. It felt just right, and quickly became a favorite. I know I'll read this again. If you've got a #middlegrade reader or love strong-girl characters, get this book!

You know when you're reading a book and you're loving it so much you know it's going to be one of your favorites that you return to again and again? I have a feeling that #middlegrade novel WILLOW KING is going to be that for me.

CherylRainfield I don't have a physical #disability, though I do have a lot of trauma-based mental health issues, and I am identifying with the main character so much - with her insecurity and determination and inner strength and goodness that she doesn't recognize in herself. And oh, how some scenes with her mother made me wish I'd had good parents instead of abuser parents. This book is touching me in all the right ways. 8y

#Reading middle-grade WILLOW KING by Chris Platt which I am absolutely loving - it's SUCH good #writing and has heart, with cozy scenes offsetting pained ones, and has me deeply caring for the character! Perfect for animal and horse lovers, readers who want to be fully immersed in a book, and has a strong-girl character with a disability. Highly recommended. Pubbed by Peachtree.
