She wanted Fella so much that she was willing to get up at five in the a.m. to feed him, knock herself out of the loft pitching his hay, and practice riding him until she couldn't sit down! A lot of work for a little girl, but Laurie felt it was worth it if she could earn the right to have Fella for her very own. This is a family story, for Mother and Dad, Tim and Donny, as well as Ricky and the Slater tribe, play a large part in the delightful saga of the conquest of Fella. But Laurie, who streams purposely past such pitfalls as fist fights and an inability to master simple arithmetic, has the first and last word.
