## Description

desertcart.com: Taming the Star Runner: 9780385376662: Hinton, S. E.: Books

Review: Great Read - My son loves to read and he loves all of the S.E. Hinton Books. I purchased this older book for him to add to his collection. Great book with a great story line.
Review: One of my favorite authors. - Here again is one of my favorite authors. "Taming The Star Runner" is a tale of the constant struggle of a young man trying to fit in.. somewhere, anywhere but who is truly a unique young man and different in a lot of ways from his peers. He pretty much tries not to let it show but he wants to be a writer. In high school you can imagine how this would go over. He has a lousy stepfather as seems oft to be the case, who does something incredibly insensitive to Travis and it lands Travis out in the mid west living with his Uncle on a farm away from the city and everything he knows and understands. Talk about a "fish out of water"! Here he meets Casey and her crazy horse, The Star Runner . Slowly a relationship between Travis, Casey, and his Uncle Ken begins to develop. Here is where Ms. Hinton excels. Weaving a story full of vibrant characters and their interactions into a deeply felt finality. The ending is extremely subtle and true to real life. Again, what I love about this author.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The characters come alive, the scenery is vivid, the storyline is catching. Only one complaint, too much cursing. Young adults
*by N***X on January 27, 2015*

The characters come alive, the scenery is vivid, the storyline is catching. Only one complaint, too much cursing. Young adults should be aware that the Lord's name is taken in vain often, before they venture this book. The book would have been much more enjoyable without it.
