Bull Rider by Suzanne Morgan Williams

Bull Rider by Suzanne Morgan Williams
241 pages
Truman Award Nominee


This book was fantastic! I really thought it would be a downer, but the end was truly amazing.
(from jacket cover)
All it takes is eight seconds...
Cam O'Mara, grandson and younger brother of bull riding champions is not interested in partaking in the family sport. Cam is a skateboarder, and perfecting his tricks-frontside flips, 360's-means everything, until his older brother, Ben, comes home from Iraq, paralyzed from a brain injury.
What would make a skateboarder take a different kind of ride? And what would get him on a monstrosity of a bull named Ugly? If Cam can stay on for the requisite eight seconds, will the $15,000 prize bring hope and a future for his big brother?
