Dear Open Library Community,
I'll get right to it: please support Open Library today. Right now, we have a 2-to-1 Matching Gift, so you can triple your impact, but time is running out! Most readers can’t afford to give, but we hope you can. The average donation is $45. If everyone reading this chips in just $5, we can end this fundraiser today. That's right, all we need is the price of a paperback book to sustain a non-profit website the whole world depends on. For 25 years this has been my dream: for a generation of learners who turn to their screens for answers, I want to put the very best information at their fingertips. I founded this as a nonprofit so together we could build a special place to read, learn and explore. We lend 12 e-books per minute and digitize 1000 new books per day. We’re dedicated to reader privacy so we never track you. We don’t accept ads. But we still need to pay for servers and staff. Open Library is a bargain, but we need your help. If you find our site useful, we ask you humbly, please chip in. Thank you.

David is determined to learn to jump on horseback if it kills him. And sometimes he's afraid it might— like when Comet balks and won't go over the crossbar. Now that David's father is back in town, he's promised to teach David how to jump like a champion. But David can't let him know how scared he is. Because there's one thing that scares David more than falling off a horse, and that's disappointing his father. Can he overcome his fear, or even talk about it?
About the Edition
Twelve-year-old David has conflicting feelings when his father, who taught him to ride the horses he loves so much, returns to spend Thanksgiving Day with the family after being gone for a year.
