I read the book in elementary school, it was in the beginning of the fiction section, so i assume the name of the author came mid to early in the alphabet. It was about a kid whose bike is possessed by a horse or that they think it is? the cover has a large black horse rearing up on what i think was a leafy bg or a canopy of trees… i believe the bicycle was also on the cover?
On the off chance this can’t been solved, this is Cougar by Helen Griffith
