Ride North is about a girl and her horse going on an adventure north. They ride in a van and go on a ferry and even go to Ninety Mile Beach. My favorite part was when they met a lady in the bush. My least favourite part was when the horse got hurt.
I like the story because It has a lot of adventure in it.

So she runs away with the one who knows her best – Tooth. Her mother’s ashes are stashed in her backpack and she’s headed for the fabled Cape Reinga. But a spur-of-the-moment choice sets danger on their tail….
