Callie Shaw Stable Boy

"No girl's allowed! No girls are allowed to work in the racing stables . . . Not even with your aunt's permission!"



How many times had Callie heard the man say it? Not that Aunt Edna would ever agree anyway. Aunt Edna always said that horse racing coming to Texas brought "the devil amongst us," but Callie figured she knew better. The horses were so beautiful and the races so exciting, it just couldn't be bad. Callie also knew something else—even though she was a girl, she must find a way to be a stable boy.
