Kate Hanson finally gets the horse of her dreams. However, Dark Ryder comes with a catch...Kate has just three months to turn him into a winner - or she'll lose her horse forever. So...Books aren't your thing? Don't worry. You just haven't read the right ones yet. These books are 'page-turners'. Whether they are funny or exciting, or emotional, they are all about believable people. This isn't Hogwarts, it's the real world. They are designed, first and foremost, to be really enjoyable - great stories that will have you hooked from the first page and won't let up - or let you down - until you've finished. Basically, they don't muck they start off gripping, and keep up with the action until the very last page. The books have everything from trappings, snow disasters, Arctic strandings, bullies, mystical horses, hackers, missing kids, juvenile prison, death-defying crashes, ghosts, divorce, hold-ups, death and honour, street gangs, drugs, intense sport...you name it. So whatever your 'flava', we have something to tickle your fancy. Pick one up and enjoy the ride...
A simple fun horse story with a rich-vs-poor contest, written at a 3rd-4th grade reading level. Probably because I just finished rereading the entire Saddle Club series, having the main antagonist be a snooty spoiled rich girl named Victoria set off my plagiarism radar. (Its not, i'm sure, just a bit unimaginative)
