Review: Ride On!

Review: Ride On by Faith Erin Hicks

In Ride On, this middle grade graphic novel from Faith Erin Hicks, twelve-year-old Victoria is burned out from the high-pressure world or riding competitions. Can she get back to basics and rekindle her love of horses? Perfect for fans of Best Friends and Stargazing!

Victoria has always loved horses. But riding in competitions is high stakes, high stress, and shockingly expensive. And even though Victoria’s best friend Taylor loves competing, Victoria has lost her taste for it.

After a heartbreaking fight with Taylor, Victoria needs a new start—at a new stables. A place where she doesn’t have to worry about anything other than riding. No competition, no drama, no friends.

Just horses.

Edgewood Stables seems ideal. There are plenty of horses to ride, and Victoria is perfectly happy giving the other riders the cold shoulder.

But can she truly be happy with no friends?

Review: Faith Erin Hicks is one of my absolute favorite graphic novelists! Ever since I discovered Friends With Boys back when it first released (which I just realized was in 2012?! I can't believe it's been that long.), I have been a huge fan of her work, and I was so excited when I got an e-ARC of her newest book. I went into it with high expectations, and it did not disappoint! There is just something about her GNs that I just love. The characters are always well written, it feels like they are characters that exist outside of her books, like the GN is just a glimpse of part of their lives. I love the art in the book. Overall, I would highly recommend this book, and I know it will make my year end list of favorites!

I received an e-ARC from the publisher.
