Synopsis: When impending fatherhood changes eighteen-year-old Jonathan's comfortable school and family life as well as his plans for the future, he needs to find a way out. Even as it was actually happening, Jonathan Meredith kept thinking it couldn't be true: the swooning Greek sunshine, that green and gold girl. But once back in England, the summer idyll quickly turns into a private nightmare as Jonathan finds he must make life-altering decisions and face up to responsibilities he never dreamed of having. Unjustly banished from school life, as well as from home, the only person he can turn to is his friend, Peter McNair, an aspiring jockey. An expert rider, Jonathan quickly throws himself into the horseracing world--and in so doing meets the girl who helps him to see what it is that he really wants. Set against the exciting backdrop of England's famous steeplechase, the Grand National, this is the sensitive portrayal of a young man at a crucial turning point. Skillfully told by K. M. Peyton, a Carnegie Medal-winning author, Free Rein is not easily forgotten, nor is Jonathan Meredith who also appeared in Ms. Peyton's Prove Yourself a Hero and A Midsummer Night's Death.
