Goodreads
Inspired by a New York Times article The Compton Cowboy’s Young Readers addition tells the story of a group of men and women from Compton, California who fought to save a horse ranch where they had found redemption and healing. This book is great for the 13-16 age range and I enjoyed the underdog aspect of it. I’m also a firm believer that animals always inspire healing and happiness. Not to mention horse books tend to circulate a lot. I would recommend this for any YA nonfiction collection that is looking for something a little different.
