Courtney Vail / Sandra J. Howell
Hey, Freaks & Geeks! I’m Emily Ann Rousseau, super sleuth, peacemaker, and fearless striver—well, almost fearless—with big aspirations and dreams. Don’t let my cerebral palsy make you doubt my drive to accomplish the impossible or my passion for the things I love most. Horses, robots, all things geeky, and of course, my Angels Club that does good deeds, all sit on the top of my Favorites List like crown jewels. I want to compete in hunt seat equitation with the graceful black beauty Freedom, but others are always trying to hold me back, telling me what I can and can’t do, or, horribly, saying much, much worse about my funny walk or carroty hair. Well, haha, joke’s on them. Nothing holds me back, especially not meanies trying to knock me down! That only fuels my fire to prove people wrong.A trip to a dude ranch out west to try to beef up my form spikes my love for an adoptable mustang I only saw online that I named Galaxy ’cause his twinkling eyes surely hold stars. I hope to find him a forever home. And maybe more mustangs! Join me in my fight to help save wild horses and other free spirits like myself. 3
