Elaine Heney really knows how to tell a good horse story. This is the first book in her Connemara horse adventure series for kids and it does not disappoint! I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I’m especially drawn to it because the main character is not just a horse lover, but like many young girls who love horses she doesn’t come from a financial background where owning one is practical and she is bullied by the girls who take such things for granted.

I felt all the emotions reading this story and even shed tears a couple of times. Even though it could use a little more editing (for the record, I’m not the best at editing either, lol), I give it five stars because it is simply just a good story! I remember reading once that the television writer, Stephen J. Cannell, suffered with dyslexia as a child, but he was determined to be a writer and in college he had to find English teachers who would focus on his actual writing and not focus on misspelled words and such. He went on to create Emmy award winning television shows, Baretta being one of my favorites. My point here is that the story is the most important. I’d rather read a good story with a few grammatical issues then a boring story that’s grammatically perfect.

Again, I highly recommend this story and totally give it five stars!!!
