Description

A gifted equestrian, she's half dog, half coyote, and all power.

But when Coyote and Red find themselves on the run from a trio of vengeful bad dogs, get clobbered by arrows, and are tragically separated, our protagonist is left fighting for her life and longing for her displaced best friend.

My defenses were up as I started reading this graphic novel because I really had no use for Hanawalt's Hot Dog Taste Test, but I was won over in the first few pages when I realized this was simply a story about a woman's love of horseback riding. Sure, there are some bad guys and action sequences,

but mostly this is a book about the love of horses. Which, weirdly, has been a theme in several other good books I've read this month: Live Long and. . .What I Learned Along the Way, Silver Spoon Vol. 4, and Harris and Me. I love that kind of coincidence.

All these horses put me in mind that once upon a time I was a young teenager who grew up on a farm riding horses for play, to drive cattle, and in parades. They are truly wonderful animals.

The goofy, quirky humor of Hanawalt's storytelling and her strong female protagonist are the icing on the cake here.

I will buy and love anything Lisa Hanawalt puts out. My guess is that Coyote Doggirl will reward multiple readings.
