--School Library Journal
andquot;Singerand#39;s story crackles with humor and attitude, its driving rhythms making it an infectious read-aloud. Avriland#39;s busy illustrations, using pastel chalk over a pencil outline, display a range of bright colors and have a slightly dreamy cast, as if they came right out of Sadieand#39;s head. So can a girl rough it in ruffles? Silly question.andquot;

But of course, Nellie Sue is really looking forward to the Bike Rodeo. She hopes that practicing will make her and her two-wheeled horse good enough to win against the reigning champion and her friend, A. J. Pickett. When a nearby goat gets loose and threatens to ruin A.J.'s ride, Nellie Sue knows that it's her job as an honest cowgirl to step in--even if it means coming in second place.
