520 _a"Fourteen year old Sid Everett is desperate to become a famous jockey, but his dad, for some reason, is totally against the idea. Sid's dad is back from WWII, but it's not the kind of homecoming the family had hoped for. Dad's return brings fear, not comfort, and for some reason he thwarts Sid's every attempt to become a jockey. Time is running out for a boy who is almost old enough to leave school and start work. With an older sister who has already sacrificed her own dream, Sid can't resist the temptation to go all out. Deceiving his parents, Sid jeopardises the very dream he longs for, placing himself and a valuable horse (which he doesn't own) in great danger. Can Sid prove himself to be a winner? Or will he sink into the mire of post-war rural hardship, doing any old job just to survive? Sid embarks on a life-changing struggle, which will change more lives than just his own"--Author's website.
