When it comes to the quality of our lives, is seeing really believing, or does our attitude create our reality? Rick Baty has lived a rich life, full of both good and not-so-good times. The bull's horns have gotten him more than once, and now he's learned how to change his attitude to grab those horns and turn things around. Along the way, he discovered that despite our culture's focus on winning, it is losing that builds character. He now navigates the unpredictable waters of life with a simple map: appreciate the good times, trust your instincts, keep a strong faith and hold your dear ones close to you. Whether your life is currently the magic carpet ride you always envisioned, or whether the bull's got you, the wisdom in this little book helped Rick survive his not-so-good days, and it can help you, too. Rick reminds us all to remember this: When the bull hooks you, life isn't over. It has just begun.

Maia Wojciechowska's 1965 Newbery Medal winner about a young boy struggling with his father's legacy. Manolo was only three when his father, the great bullfighter Juan Olivar, died. But Juan is never far from Manolo's consciousness--how could he be, with the entire town of Arcangel waiting for the day Manolo will fulfill his father's legacy? But Manolo has a secret he dares to share with no one--he is a coward, without afición, the love of the sport that enables a bullfighter to rise above his fear and face a raging bull. As the day when he must enter the ring approaches, Manolo finds himself questioning which requires more courage: to follow in his father's legendary footsteps or to pursue his own destiny?
