This week I finished reading Taming the Star Runner. The first two thirds were really good, but I was completely disappointed in the end, it just dropped off.
When I read about the horse show, I saw Casey’s fierce side while she was jumping. When the Star Runner died, I saw her sensitive side. The most important part, in my opinion, was when Travis found out how he was judged for how he dressed, both from the publisher and from the girls at the show. The message through out this story is no matter how you are stereotyped; you can change, or know that you aren’t the person they think you are. During the horse show Travis and Casey unofficially started dating. She got first in both speed and style runs, and he took care of the horses. Casey was determined to jump, even though Travis told her not to because of her broken ribs.
