RIDE A HORSE NOT AN ELEVATOR, serialized in the Sentinel. Lisa leaves home--and the elevators and bullies of a big apartment complex--to spend a summer in the country at her grandparents' farm. Culture shock! Accompanied by her loyal beagle, Donald Dog, Lisa faces a summer in a very different environment with its own challenges and dangers. Using an outhouse is the least of her problems! Lisa is terrified of her new pony. Lisa's grandfather is injured by a charging cow and needs her to ride the pony to get help. How will she ever overcome her fear to save her grandfather?
