Book Review By Ruth Miller
Fear of Falling - Wild at Heart 9 by Laurie Halse Anderson

David's going to learn to jump, even if it kills him. And sometimes, he's almost afraid it might-- like when Comet balks and won't go over the crossbar. Now that his dad's back in town, he's promisedto teach David how to jump like a champion. But David can't let him know how scared he is. Because there's one thing he's more afraid of than falling off a horse-- and that's disappointing his dad. If he does, his dad might leave again, and it'll be all David's fault.
