County Teens

BJ’s been saving money for a horse of her own about as long as she can remember. And when she gets to the auction with $700.00 tucked tightly in her hand, she knows she’ll find something. But she doesn’t expect to find herself buying a too-old, almost wild blue mare. Blue Moon, as she calls the horse, is scared and tense – but is also a quick learner, strong and smart. There’s something weird about her though – she seems to learn almost too quickly – like she’s done this before. Is there something they didn’t tell BJ at the auction??

Imagine you have just moved to Newfoundland from Toronto with your mother, and you take your sailboat out and find a boat containing a family from Southeast Asia trying to illegally immigrate to Canada. They’re scared, and they don’t speak English -  but if they want to avoid being arrested, they’ll need your help. What would you do? Would you break the law to help them? Would you turn them in?
