5/10/2023 0 Comments Ride On by Faith Erin Hicks![]() Some themes of Ride On are friendship, growing apart or growing closer, what it means to you to be around a good friend, working hard, competing. Ride On is set in middle school, and as far as romance goes, there is just the barest hint of a crush. I loved that Victoria's mom was an accountant, haha! Yeah accountants know better than to buy horses. In Ride On, this middle grade graphic novel from Faith Erin Hicks, twelve-year-old Victoria is burned out from the high-pressure world or riding competitions. Victoria's sweet older sister, Norrie's sweet older brother, even Sam's brother's eventually have some sweet moments. I loved all the positive sibling relationships in this book. What happened with Victoria to make her change stables? Even thought I didn't ever consider myself a horse girl, many sweet moments, some silliness, and some real conflicts made the book compelling. My dad loves horses and our family owned a few now and then (see the picture above). I was never super into horse books (it was all about the Babysitters Club, for me!) but that didn't stand in the way of my enjoyment of this book. ![]() Although the front cover has just one of the main characters on it, (kind of two, if you count the horse, I suppose!) there are a bunch of awesome characters in this book. Ride On is out TOMORROW To celebrate Im going to post about the development of this graphic novel, which I first saw. ![]() ![]() I really enjoyed this graphic novel! I picked it up from the library because it's by Faith Erin Hicks and I have liked her books in the past ( One Year at Ellsmere, and Friends with Boys especially!) There was a great ensemble cast to this book. ![]()
