Winners - Softcover
After losing his parents and suffering through eleven foster homes in eight yeas, fifteen-year old Jordy Threebears returns to the Ash Creek Blackfoot Reserve to live with a grandfather he hardly knows. For Jordy, the years of resentment and anger prove difficult to overcome until he receives the gift of a wild mare. With his horse Siksika, Jordy gains a companion as well as the determination to beat the odds. But Fred Brady's unexplainable hatred of Jordy threatens the boy's chance for happiness.

About the Author:
Review:
Mary-Ellen Lang Collura is a part-time English teacher. She lives on a farm near Parksville, British Columbia, with her husband and sons and an assortment of animals including horses, goats and a pony.
"This title can go right to the top of the list of good short books. There's plenty of action, well-rounded Native American characters (although the non-Indians are a little less clearly drawn), vivid depiction of the setting, and the text is as spare and tautly-strung as a prairie pony." —School Library Journal
