NOTES A girl, aged about ten, and her family move to a new town. She hates school, gets in with the wrong people and in no time is into crime.

Given community service looking after horses she is changing for the better when a car crash leaves her disabled. She wears braces and uses a wheelchair. The horse is injured too, but they shoot horses, don't they?
Cherly Gottlieb tells me the girl is likely to be about 15 since she is at high school. The ranch where she does community service has a therapeutic riding program. After the accident she is helped by a girl with cerebral palsy who also wears braces and uses crutches.
