Riding Freedom

Riding Freedom by Pam Munoz Ryan is a not very compelling quick read with a good theme about being free to live your life the way you want, developing friendships, and persevering through difficult times. Despite the bland  writing, the story became more interesting to me when I discovered by reading ahead to the Afterword that it was based on the true story of a girl who pretended to be a boy during the mid-1800s in order to accomplish her goals.
