About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."
Description
Patti’s biggest wish has come true; she has the horse she wanted so badly. But he is a lame horse, he doesn’t really belong to her, she might never be able to ride him, and she loves him already… Patti’s story with Little Guy has only just begun!Patti jumps enthusiastically into the complicated world of horses and riding, learning to deal with the ups and downs of acquiring new skills, competition with other kids, and problem-solving in a completely new setting. Along the way, she will also learn about sorting her aims and ambitions.
