Horse-Canada Book Stall

From the outside, 13yr old Alberta (Bird) looks like a typical teenager.

She spends her days attending school, riding horses and helping out on the farm where she lives with her aunt Hannah. But Bird is anything but typical. For one, she hears things that no one else hears, like the thoughts of the various animals she befriends. For another, she doesn't talk.

Although it causes some problems at school, and with the kids that come to the farm to train, Bird's unwillingness to speak isn't a big issue for her aunt. In fact, when a new problem horse arrives at the farm, Hannah realizes that the strange and silent Bird is the only one that can break through his defenses.
