Wild Girl
Patricia Reilly Giff (2009) , 160 pages
Left with family in Brazil after her mom dies and her father and brother Rafael immigrate to New York, Lidie finds solace in horses. Five years later, her Pai has finally saved enough money to bring her to America but her transition is not smooth. She doesn't speak English, school is hard and her dad treats her like a baby. When the horse farm where they work acquires a filly named Wild Child (her mom's nick name for Lidie) it seems like destiny.
