King of the Wind: The Story of the Godolphin Arabian by Marguerite Henry

I read this because it was a Newbery winner--but honestly, I did not enjoy it all that much. A lot of the reviews on Goodreads are from people who loved it as children because they were horse girls who were obsessed with horses and horse books. I honestly read Black Beauty as a child and loved it, but not really any other horse books, and I also have a hard time imagining any kid that would like this book. It was the story of a horse who became a famous racer and winning many races against long odds and not being favored. I kind of struggled through this and was glad to finally check it off.
