A sweet, easy-to-read story for all horse lovers. Young and old readers will enjoy this well-written chapter book. I'd highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys equestrian stories or can relate to the dream of owning a horse of their own. Looking forward to reading more from this author!
Definitely a 4,5 I used to absolutely adore horses read some horse books as a lil girl and this really woke up my inner horse girly. Definitely a predictable one, but still enjoyed reading and it was a nice read considering the dumpster fire of a book I read before this. Really nice, heartwarming and easy read for all ages!! Would recommend this if you r an animal lover and want to light up your mood a lil 💝🫶
This is one of my of my favourite books. The book itself is an amazing story of adventure involving a horse named "star" and a girl named "Alice Winter" helping out a rescue centre. Recommended for children aged 5+, however some emotional parts might be sad you children younger than 5.
