Last Hope

Horseshoe Trilogies #2

by Lucy Daniels, Tristan Elwell (Illustrator)

This is a heartwarming trilogy that tells of a girl's devotion to find the right homes for three horses. Three separate stories of three horses are linked together in a unique trilogy. While the setting is shared, each title highlights one horse's story.

Josie Grace has grown up with three beloved horses -- Faith, Hope, and Charity -- at her mother's riding school. But when the stables are forced to close, the family must find the animals new homes. While Josie is devastated at first, her personal mission to match Faith, Hope, and Charity with the perfect owners allows her to form a new, special bond with her favorite mares.

Sweet-natured Hope is gentle and reliable -- she's always been a favorite at the riding school. But Josie is worried that the horse's plain looks will stop her from finding a loving home. When the possibility arises of placing Hope with an animal hospice, Josie isn't sure what to do.

my Favorited part was when hope got somewhere good to live.the worst part was when the horse just about didn't get anywhere to live.the best character was hope because she was the main character and a horse and i like horses.the worst character was the person that said that hope was ugly.Auryn 9 years.

I love, love, love horses and these books are so incredibly beautifully written. They have such an inspiring storyline with great a great message for the readers. One of my favourite childhood "horsey" series.

A book I won in a Grades 4-6 essay writing contest (1st place. I was Grade 5 at that time). I think it'd be a good book to read if I had been a girl who's into reading this stuff. It's an inspirational book, I haven't really finished it though. I'll be reading it again and prolly it'll change my thoughts.

If you love horses you will like this series of books, they are very good read for pony mad children. A sweet collection of books.

it is really sad about how everyone thinks hope is ugly and that's what made the book so good
