- Synopsis
- From the Book jacket: Half the Battle is a story of tension, rivalry, and misunderstanding between two teenage brothers-a story in which a tough, one-hundred-mile endurance ride on horseback brings out the stuff of which both boys are made. Blair Liskey, who is blind, is dependent on his brother and resents it. Loren has long fought an overwhelming jealousy of the attention his blind brother receives and of his brother's opportunities for heroism, which he lacks and longs for himself. When Loren realizes that without having to look out for his brother on the endurance ride, he and his spirited horse Kade might have a chance at winning, he is tempted to take whatever action he must to achieve some recognition for himself. Lynn Hall has written a strong adventure novel in which Blair's struggle to cope with his handicap is a major theme, as is the conflict with his brother, which ultimately clarifies the basic relationship between the two. Lynn Hall and her Paso Fino horse, Tazo. LYNN HALL lives in the scenic hill country near Elkader, Iowa. She enjoys long rides with her horse Tazo, teaches 4-H dog training classes, and likes to reflect occasionally by a frog pond that she built herself. And of course she spends a lot of time writing-great books like The Leaving, The Horse Trader, and Danza!
