My defenses were up as I started reading this graphic novel because I really had no use for Hanawalt's Hot Dog Taste Test, but I was won over in the first few pages when I realized this was simply a story about a woman's love of horseback riding. Sure, there are some bad guys and action sequences, but mostly this is a book about the love of horses. Which, weirdly, has been a theme in several other good books I've read this month: Live Long and. . .What I Learned Along the Way, Silver Spoon Vol. 4, and Harris and Me. I love that kind of coincidence. All these horses put me in mind that once upon a time I was a young teenager who grew up on a farm riding horses for play, to drive cattle, and in parades. They are truly wonderful animals. The goofy, quirky humor of Hanawalt's storytelling and her strong female protagonist are the icing on the cake here.

"Coyote is a dreamer and a drama queen, brazen and brave, faithful yet fiercely independent. She beats her own drum and sews her own crop tops. A gifted equestrian, she's half dog, half coyote, and all power. With the help of her trusty steed, Red, there's not much that's too big for her to bite off, chew up, and spit out right into your face, if you deserve it. But when Coyote and Red find themselves on the run from a trio of vengeful bad dogs, get clobbered by arrows, and are tragically separated, our protagonist is left fighting for her life and longing for her displaced best friend. Taken in by a wolf clan, Coyote may be wounded, but it's not long before she's back on the open road to track down Red and tackle the dogs who wronged her"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

However, I think the plot was rather weak. It meandered around, toying with different points and people, but never really settling into a comfortable pattern. There is a whole climactic point that falls apart simply because two characters are hungry/lazy. In a way that was sort of funny but part of me just wanted a more OOMPH from the plot.
I WOULD recommend checking this out, though! It's a visually tasty read (and at quick one at that) and definitely has heart. :) ( )
