The love of horses A great book about a young girl's love of horses and her life. It was great how it all came together. She found her father and eventually a man who loved horses as much as she did.. Good Horse Book I liked the story and I learned new words. Recomended for ages 8 to 108. Any book about horses is a good book.
Bryant, Los Angeles Public Library(c) Copyright 2011. Her Scottish father left the family for the Red River Valley years earlier but never returned. Historical detail is plentiful almost to the point of slowing down the story at times, but the language is beautiful and accomplished, making this novel of discovery and survival an enjoyable and authentic read. Believing this to be an omen, Amelia is determined to accompany the horse and search for her father. With plenty of equestrian-infused drama and a satisfying conclusion, it won't disappoint strong readers of historical fiction and horse lovers.-Madeline J.
