Again, just like no. 1, Moonstone promise captured my inner wild-heart and took me to Outback Australia to be with the brumbies!

[Lisa Arnold · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one is more of a tall tale, great adventure story but not as believable as the first one in the series. I did still enjoy it but the chances of a sixteen year old boy outriding experienced competitors at a camp draft, let alone being able to ride without presenting id and having parental consent are pretty slim. Loved the descriptions of the Australian outback and the brumbies, enjoyed the meeting of the dogs and the lady from the art gallery but could have done without the barb wire trap and putting the mare down with a pocket knife just yuck.

Enjoyed this novel and how it was in Luke's view. Wasn't as good as the first book though.

Diamond Spirit Series are a must read!

Another tear jerker of a start. I loved the fact that the same characters are mentioned - but this time it is a different characters story.

Definitely more a teen reading than an older primary school child though

This series is bringing back the dusty horse smells of my youth. Gritty and tough-minded enough to appeal to early teens.

I've never experienced being near a brumby but because of this book I discovered how wonderful they truly are. This is a great second book of the series "Diamond Spirit."
