Overview

The Sequel to Close Call

After an intense near-death experience, Triple Crown-winner Trish Evanston battles to recover from her tragic racing accident. The pain is agonizing, but it isn't enough to keep her mind off her injured filly, Firefly—or off the culprit who continues to send her venomous threats.

When Trish is well enough to travel, she returns home to Runnin' on Farm, where life on the ranch settles down to a normal pace—until a disturbing phone call reminds her that the stalker must be caught before she can feel safe again. As graduation day nears, her pursuer closes in—and Trish finds herself in a desperate race for her life! Has winning come at too high a price?

The accident is behind her, but the real challenge is just beginning ….

As she and her filly Firefly recover from a tragic racing accident, Trish tries to find out who is behind the disturbing threats she continues to receive and she discovers that God has a perfect plan for her life.

Editorials

School Library Journal

Gr 6 Up-Trish's life does not lack excitement-just believability. Pursued by a stalker whom she has nicknamed ``The Jerk,'' this high school senior and professional jockey manages to win a few races, go to the prom with the star quarterback, save herself from the stalker, and graduate. Although the story begins with a near-fatal attempt on her life, landing her in the hospital, any suspense or tension created by this incident is not sustained. The book skips from one end of the country to the other. So many characters and horses drift in and out of the pages that it's difficult to become intrigued by any of them. The settings-whether the track, the hospital, or any other place-never take root. Trish's monologues with God are also unconvincing and awkward. With its choppy, predictable plot and superficial characters, this mystery really misses the winner's circle.-Carol Schene, Taunton Public Schools, MA
