Presley's life is pretty great - she has a loving family, friends at school, and plenty of rambunctious rescue pets. There's just one little problem . . . She's never gotten to ride a horse. And her mom has banned her from ever, ever, ever getting on one. And sure, Presley knows riding can be a little dangerous, and a little expensive, but she’s loved horses for as long as she can remember. She’s read every book in the library about horses and horsemanship, she watches professional horse competitions on the internet, and she’s always dreamed about learning to ride. So when she gets the opportunity to tag along with her stepdad on a vet visit to Windy Creek Stables, she jumps at the chance. And even after a surprise run in with Harper, a popular girl who's never given Presley a second glance, Windy Creek is everything she thought it would be . . . except, well, maybe it's a little messy? Clean and dirty saddle pads are all jumbled together, and there’s a tangle of bridles hanging on a hook in the corner. Which gives Presley the perfect idea: In exchange for cleaning stalls and helping around the barn after school, Tracie, the stable owner, will give her lessons— if she can get her mom to agree to the deal.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781250331359","publication_date":"20250204","publisher":"Feiwel & Friends","slug":"windy-creek-stables-presley-and-the-impossible-dream","subtitle":"","title":"Windy Creek Stables: Presley and the Impossible Dream"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"JUV032090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Horse Stories","score":0.84,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAF002010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"YA Horse Stories","score":0.7868,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"JUV032090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Horse Stories","score":0.84,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAF002010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"YA Horse Stories","score":0.7868,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"JUV002130","confidence_band":"high","label":"Horse Stories","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"JUV039060","confidence_band":"high","label":"Friendship","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Horse Stories","score":0.84,"slug":"horse-stories"},{"label":"YA Horse Stories","score":0.7868,"slug":"ya-horse-stories"}],"reader_fit":["Middle-grade readers who enjoy horse stories","Good for readers interested in learning about horses and horsemanship"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Kaitlyn Sage Patterson"],"book_id":"9781250331380","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781250331380.jpg?v=2b81c8365efa945f","score":0.8343,"title":"Windy Creek Stables: Harper and the Horse Show Sabotage","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781250331380"},{"authors":["Annie Wedekind"],"book_id":"9780312581466","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780312581466.jpg?v=b1fcc9a9992f1f4d","score":0.7559,"title":"A Horse of Her Own","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780312581466"},{"authors":["Carrie Seim"],"book_id":"9780593095492","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780593095492.jpg?v=8ef94f83dddf91b0","score":0.7411,"title":"Horse Girl","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780593095492"},{"authors":["Catherine Hapka"],"book_id":"9781481403429","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781481403429.jpg?v=5df180c4e7605adc","score":0.7379,"title":"Chasing Gold","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781481403429"},{"authors":["Pippa Funnell"],"book_id":"9781804542842","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781804542842.jpg?v=62db466450a74988","score":0.737,"title":"Magic Spirit the Dream Horse","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781804542842"},{"authors":["Alison Hart"],"book_id":"9780375860058","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780375860058.jpg?v=681479a390b98833","score":0.7369,"title":"Whirlwind","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780375860058"},{"authors":["Bonnie Bryant"],"book_id":"9780553157543","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780553157543.jpg?v=9f1f4e864810dd72","score":0.7318,"title":"Horse Play","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780553157543"},{"authors":["Lindsay Lackey"],"book_id":"9781250618900","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781250618900.jpg?v=48c8dd5c6f0dc2af","score":0.726,"title":"All the Impossible Things","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781250618900"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:gifts for girls"],"label":"Girls","score":0.4323,"slug":"girls"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:horse girl"],"label":"Girl","score":0.0897,"slug":"girl"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Horses and horsemanship, Pursuing a riding dream, Family disagreement.","Story elements: A long-held dream gets a chance.","Themes: Girls, Girl."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.87,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["Middle-grade readers who enjoy horse stories","Readers interested in learning about horses and horsemanship"],"themes":["Horses and horsemanship","Pursuing a riding dream","Family disagreement"],"tropes":["A long-held dream gets a chance"]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":4,"goodreads_ratings_count":24,"goodreads_reviews_count":13,"quality_score":0.8609}}
