The Arizona Kid by Ron Koertge (first published 1988)
Requirements: MOBI / ePUB reader, 1.1 Mb
Overview: “I was in the West. The Old West The Wild West! A whole summer in new place, a place away from my parents; a place so hot the girls probably wore bikinis to church, a place where I’d take a giant step toward my childhood dream of becoming a vet. A place where — who knows? — anything might happen.”

From the moment sixteen-year-old Billy steps off the train in Tucson, he knows this will be a summer unlike any he's seen in small-town Bradleyville, Missouri. For starters, he's staying with his cool gay uncle, who has managed to get him a job at the racetrack caring for horses. Still, Billy doesn't expect the horseracing world to be quite as rough and tumble as this — toiling side by side with a macho survivalist and falling hard for the feisty, romance-shy "exercise girl" Cara Mae. With his trademark fast-paced dialogue filled with wit and compassion, Ron Koertge tells the tale of an insecure teen who discovers that gaining stature involves more than Stetsons and boots — and that lessons on love and manhood come from the places you least expect.
Genre: MF coming-of-age
