He wants to grow up to be the fastest runner in the world, like his father. He wants to be painted crossing the finishing line, in his racing silks, with a medal around his neck. Charley lives in a stable. He isn't a runner, he's a mount. He belongs to a Hoot: The Hoots are alien invaders. Charley hasn't seen his mother for years, and his father is hiding out in the mountains somewhere, with the other Free Humans. The Hoots own the world, but the humans want it back. Charley knows how to be a good mount, but now he's going to have to learn how to be a human being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carol Emshwiller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Young Readers Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Mass Market Paperbound\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.06h x 4.26w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780142403020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAge Range:\u003c\/b\u003e 12-UP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.4\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e86820 \/ Mount\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarol Emshwiller\u003c\/b\u003e (sfwa.org\/members\/emshwiller) is the author of many acclaimed novels and story collections, including \u003ci\u003eCarmen Dog\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Start of the End of It All\u003c\/i\u003e (winner of the World Fantasy Award), \u003ci\u003eReport to the Men's Club and Other Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e I Live with You and You Dont' Know It\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Mount\u003c\/i\u003e (winner of the Philip K.
