Emily has her heart set on rescuing a wild mustang, but her family gets outbid at an auction. Instead she settles for helping a nearby ranch muck out stalls where some of the mustangs now reside. She quickly earns a reputation as a horse whisperer for her ability to calm Midnight, a horse that others cannot control. But even Emily can't help when a tornado blows through the area and Midnight gets loose. Or can she? At Second Chance Ranch, the Ramirez family cares and works to find homes for all kinds of animals on their 200-acre ranch in Texas. Sisters Natalie (12), Abby (10), and twins Emily and Grace (9) all do their part to help out and give each animal the second chance it deserves.
When she was young, Laurie J. Edwards brought home many stray dogs and cats. She told her mother they just followed her home, but pieces of leftover meat from her lunch also might have helped to attract them. The pet she wanted most, though, was a horse. Her parents insisted their yard was too small. When she turned thirteen, Laurie began taking riding lessons and spent as much time as she could around horses.She grew up and became a librarian because she loved books as much as she loved animals. Then she discovered the joys of writing books as well as reading them. Now she is the author of more than 40 books.Jomike Tejido is an author and illustrator who has illustrated the books I Funny: School of Laughs and Middle School: Dog's Best Friend, as well as the Pet Charms and I Want to Be . . .
