Fourteen-year-old Miya Skippingbird, aka Mega Miya, knows all about middle school struggles. She wants the perfect horse that will win every time so the rodeo kids will notice her in a good way and maybe even like her. However, Miya's hope is shattered when her "Dream" turns out to be a stubborn paint mare who has no interest in running, much less winning a barrel race. "She's the fattest horse I've ever seen. Yeah, she's stubborn. She wouldn't move. First, she was so barn-sour she acted like she couldn't gather up enough strength to leave that end of the arena. Then, no matter how hard I kicked her, she barely trotted. To top it off, when I asked her to lope, she tried to kill me. So, there you have it. She's not a dream. She's my worst nightmare." Can Miya overcome the viral videos and humiliation? Can she face her nightmares and stand up? Can she move forward? Take a chance? Sometimes you might win something unexpected. . . .

But through Godmother's telling of the five stories, she learns the Outer World of Men has something even better. And that is...?
