Race Rider - Coming of Age Drama Uses World of Racing to Stress Self-Acceptance

Jan. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Enter the fast-paced world of horse racing in the exciting new novel Race Rider by Scott Oliver Hail.

This coming-of-age tale follows the adventures of a short high school student ironically named Jack Short. Upset about his stature, Jack wants nothing more than to emulate his older brother, a tall college football player. A scrappy teen just itching for a fight, Jack takes on a bully at school and is suspended. Then Jack discovers a perfect outlet for a small boy: He becomes a jockey!

Jack is mentored by a retired horse racer and soon starts winning races. Will the small kid with a big chip on his shoulder be able to excel at horse racing, and make it all the way to the Kentucky Derby? Race Rider shows the importance of accepting yourself for who you really are.
