rodeos

When Sydney Todachine's parents are selected to do research in the Amazon over the summer, Sydney has to spend her break before middle school on her grandfathers ranch. When her secret nighttime horseback riding turns into an opportunity to enter the local rodeo, she's not sure she has what it takes to compete against more experienced riders. But she gives it a shot and surprises herself by doing extremely well. Includes text-related questions, writing prompts, and a glossary.

Wade is staying at his uncle's ranch for the summer, but despite being athletic he has proved hopeless when it comes to riding a horse, much less the other skills demanded in a rodeo--but when Maria, sister of his new friend Javier, breaks her arm, she asks him to keep her horse in training, and Wade is forced to overcome his apprehension and really learn how to ride.
