**How does a Black kid from North Philly wind up playing polo? The
much-anticipated sequel to Ghetto Cowboy, now a major motion picture
starring Idris Elba and Stranger Things's Caleb McLaughlin.
When Cole moves in with his dad, Harp, he thinks life will be
sweet--just him and his horse, Boo, hanging out with Philadelphia's
urban cowboys. But when Harp says he has to get a job, Cole winds up as
a stable hand for the polo team at George Washington Military Academy,
where the players are rich, white, and stuck-up--all except Ruthie, the
team's first and only girl, who's determined to show the others she can
beat them at their own game. As Cole and Ruthie become friends--and
maybe more--he starts imagining his future, maybe even at the academy.
But between long workdays, arrogant polo players, and a cousin trying to
pull Cole into his dangerous business, that future seems remote. Will
Cole find the courage to stand and be seen in a world determined to keep
him out? With striking illustrations by Jesse Joshua Watson, celebrated
author G. Neri's novel weaves themes of tenacity and community into a
rousing sports story inspired by Philadelphia's real-life urban cowboys
and polo players.
