SOLVED. YA/ Middle Grade fiction. A black boy from the city runs away and feeds a horse dog food. [s]

- I read the book about six years ago, but I think it was older
- The boy's best friend had really bad cavities
- the boy's father mentions the concept of bildungsroman or rumspringa
- the boy runs to an abandoned stable
- there's a scene when the boy explains to his father how he's been living with the horses

Does anything on the Black Boys list look familiar?
