The Summer of the Bone Horses

Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve

Eddie spends several weeks with his grandparents on South Dakota’s Rosebud Reservation while his father recovers from surgery. Nervous about his first separation from his parents, he gradually joins the household’s routines, including garden work and caring for his grandfather’s horse, Buck. His grandfather gives him bone horses to play with, and Eddie makes riders and a corral. When his grandfather is injured, Eddie rides Buck to the general store for help.
