About the book:
Kate’s dream of
owning a horse has finally happened. But now her best friend Tori has no money
to buy a horse. So Kate comes up with a plan – she’ll raise money by boarding
horses and hosting a show in her family’s barn.
It seems the
perfect solution until Melissa, the girl who disses Kate and Tori at school,
shows up to board her horse, determined to compete in their show and win the
silver spurs. Will their plan be ruined – or does God have something better in
store for them all?
My review:
This book is
perfect for 8-12 year old horse lovers.
I loved spending
more time with Kate, her family, and her friends. This book is a wonderful
continuation of their lives. Kate, Tori, and Colt are very realistic middle
school age kids. They are very focused on what they want. Kate especially is
open with her frustration whenever it looks like things aren't going to go the
way she wants them to. As she faces obstacles she is learning to take things to
God in prayer. This is helping her learn to trust Him with her dreams and to
help her overcome her fears.
The descriptions
of the horse show itself and the care of the horses were wonderfully written. I
could picture what was taking place in my mind. This made the story very
entertaining to read.
Thanks so much for your wonderful review, Debbie! I"m so glad you enjoyed it. Do you have a girl in your life you're passing them along to?
