3.5 stars. This wasn't my favorite because it was just a little boring. Wyatt and Sasha go to the other side of the trees that they're never supposed to go to. They go in search of Sapphire, another flying horse that Wyatt knew a long time ago. I liked that Sasha told her parents where she was going and wasn't super sneaky. However, this book is definitely just a bridge to further books in the series because nothing really happens until a "cliffhanger" at the end where she finds the flying horses. I'm excited to read on, this one just wasn't the best.

This is the second book in the Tales of Sasha series for young readers. These early chapter books are a wonderful segue into middle-grade literature.
In this book, Sasha shows her family her wings and ability to fly. While she's zipping through the clouds, her school teacher sees her. He tells her that he met a flying horse once before. With his help, Sasha and Wyatt (her best friends) head off on an adventure in search of other flying horses.
I am so happy to see high-interest and well-written chapter books like this on the market. It's great to see something new for the 6-8 age group — something different and adventurous.
I gave these two books to my six-year-old daughter to read. She loved them! They are the first chapter books she's managed to finish and they gave her the courage to try some other chapter books as well. She's not as voracious a reader as my nine-year-old, so I was very happy to see her latch onto these books. Now, she wants to keep reading the series.

Pearl, Alexa Journey Beyond the Trees (Tales of Sasha #2), illustrated by Paco Sordo. CHAPTER BOOK. Little Bee Books (Bonnier), 2017. $6. 9781499803914
The morning after finding out that she can fly, Sasha tells her sisters. They ask her many questions about her abilities, but she can't answer any of them. To learn more, it seems Sasha will need to journey into the forest and beyond. The only problem? No horse from their valley has ever ventured into the trees before.
This is another cute installment to the series. The glittery, colorful color is likely to appeal to sparkle-lovers, and the short chapters and many illustrations make it approachable for newer readers. As for the story itself, well, it's fun but it feels like a larger book chopped down to make a shorter one, especially with the rather abrupt ending.

My seven year old really likes this series and she made it through this book in two days! It's a great series for a second grader with just the right amount of pictures for someone who might be easily overwhelmed by a chapter book. In this book, Sasha's sisters learn about her secret and Sasha ventures into the the land beyond the trees. It's a cute little book that covers values such as the importance of friendship, determination and bravery.

My eldest can't get enough of this series. There's something weird about the pacing and story line that feels like someone just shakes some dice and puts in odd plot twists based on what they rolled. It kind of whips around a bit and I never know what is going to happen. But the stories are about friendship and adventure. Plus, unicorns. Alright by me.

Sasha’s journey continues. Feels a bit like filler, as this volume is really just the journey and figuring out how to get where she’s going and find what she’s looking for, but without the reward of actually seeing her find it. We’ll need to read the next book.

I think I was less impressed with this one because it lacked consistency with the traditional fantasy genre, but I was pleased with the ending, and I hope for the appearance of some unicorns soon.

Despite all the magic, this book is kind of boring.

Sasha goes on a journey to find other winged horses in this chapter book.

Picking up where the first book left off, Sasha, a young filly, has just discovered that she has wings, and that she was adopted by her parents. Naturally, this creates a great deal of curiosity for Sasha about where she came from, especially when her teacher tells her that he once knew a horse that could fly. Sasha sets off with her best friend, Wyatt, through the forest that she's been told her whole life to avoid. The forest rejects Wyatt, but opens up for her, encouraging her to continue her journey with Wyatt holding tightly to her tail. The black-and white illustrations are adorable and bring Sasha and her friends and family to life nicely. The text is broken up by these illustrations making this a nice book for young readers just getting into chapter books. A series that is bound to be popular with horse-loving youngsters.

Student read this to me during an intervention working on comprehension. This is a fantastic early chapter book series sure to be a hit with elementary kids from 1st-5th grade!

Daddy read this one to the kids, in one sitting. I actually didn’t hear this one, but the kids loved it and told me all about the story the next morning.
