Broome, Errol My grandad knew Phar Lap!
Freemantle Press, 2006
This is a sweet story about a horse-mad boy named Toby and his best friend Maddy who are excited when Toby's grandad comes to stay, because he used to spend time in the stables of the great Phar Lap. Dealing with the issues of acceptance and loving oneself for who you are, despite your differences, this story is one filled with hope and self discovery. The writing is geared more towards the younger spectrum of yhr young teens, but the story is a good one, and the thoughts of the protagonist Toby are interesting and well written.
Recommended for ages: 9-14
