Description
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.

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.
