ISBN:  9781948226196 (hardcover) : 1948226197 (hardcover) Description:  274 pages ; 22 cm Requests:  0 Summary:  "At the age of nineteen, Lara Prior-Palmer discovered a website devoted to "the world's longest, toughest horse race"--an annual competition of endurance and skill that involves dozens of riders racing a series of twenty-five wild ponies across 1,000 kilometers of Mongolian grassland. On a whim, she decided to enter the race. As she boarded a plane to East Asia, she was utterly unprepared for what awaited her. Riders often spend years preparing to compete in the Mongol Derby, a course that re-creates the horse messenger system developed by Genghis Khan, and many fail to finish. Prior-Palmer had no formal training. She was driven by her own restlessness, stubbornness, and a lifelong love of horses. She raced for ten days through extreme heat and terrifying storms, catching a few hours of sleep where she could at the homes of nomadic families. Battling bouts of illness and dehydration, exhaustion and bruising falls, she decided she had nothing to lose. Each dawn she rode out again on a fresh horse, scrambling up mountains, swimming through rivers, crossing woodlands and wetlands, arid dunes and open steppe, as American television crews chased her in their jeeps. Told with terrific suspense and style, in a voice full of poetry and soul, Rough Magic captures the extraordinary story of one young woman who forged ahead, against all odds, to become the first female winner of this breathtaking race."--Dust jacket flap.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Biography B Prior-Palmer Pr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 798.40092 Prior-Palmer Pr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Biography B Prior-Palmer Pr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 798.40092 Prior-Palmer Pr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 798.40092 Prior-Palmer Pr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Biography B Prior-Palmer Pr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 798.40092 Prior-Palmer Pr Checked In Add Copy to MyList
