Overview

Fifteen-year-old Yancy runs away from home on the night his brother viciously attacks his horse, Shy. With just a backpack, a flashlight, his horse, and a journal, Yancy takes to the California desert on a journey of self-discovery. There he will learn the hardships of being homeless, experience his first kiss, and meet a Mexican laborer, Tavo, who has a thing or two to teach him about life and love. Debut novelist Sandra Alonzo creates an honest portrait of a family dealing with mental disease. Illustrator Nathan Huang captures the humor and angst of a teenager who needs more than words to make his point. In Riding Invisible, words and art come together to create a touching, funny, and wholly original story.

Author Information

Sandra Alonzo (www.sandraalonzo.com) grew up in a mountainous region near Los Angeles. As a teen she loved exploring the local trails on horseback, reading, and experimenting with photography, gathering inspiration for the stories she longed to share. Riding Invisible is her first novel for young adults. Ms. Alonzo resides in central California not far from the Sierra National Forest. Originally from southern California, Nathan Huang ran away from home to Brooklyn, New York, where he doodles for nice people like The New York Times, Esquire, and ESPN The Magazine. He wishes his journal were half as interesting as this one. See more of his work at www.nathanhuang.com.
