Wendy's Magic - 9781449731595

Nine-year old Wendy Buchanan has a good life growing up in Sandusky, Ohio--quite wonderful, in fact, until a tragedy claims both the life of her mother and Wendy's ability to ever walk again. Life as she knows it has now changed forever. But can life possibly be as good as or even better than before? Through Wendy's love of horses (and one particularly fantastical carousel pony), the help of her lifelong friend, her father, and one very, very peculiar neighbor, Wendy finds the way out of her darkness and learns to live and love again.
