Will she have to sacrifice her dreams and friendships for her family's future? Dive into Maddie's world of tough choices and heartfelt connections.
From the publisher
Maddie worries she might be giving up too much–especially Cloudy, her pony–in this fifth book in a contemporary middle grade series in the tradition of Marguerite Henry’s Misty of Chincoteague. It’s almost Maddie’s birthday, and while snooping around for her hidden gifts (a family tradition), she stumbles across something that makes her think her mother is getting transferred again by the Air Force–this time overseas! What will that mean for Maddie and her pony, Cloudy? On top of that Maddie’s best friend Bridget has just broken up with her boyfriend, and it seems that Cloudy is the only thing that makes her feel better. Why does Maddie always have to be the one who’s making sacrifices?
