The Girl Who Remembered Horses is a post-Apocalyptic middle grade novel but without the darkness and misery that seems to come with so many books these days. Sahara's world is harsh and demanding in many ways, but there is a hope present even in the midst of uncertaintly that makes this book a very uplifting, yet realistic read. Benson clearly loves and knows horses (and goats and dogs!) and that love comes through as Sahara discovers horses for herself. Benson presents life on the edge as Sahara comes of age, but in such a life-affirming way. I highly recommend this one to middle grade readers, teens, and adults who just want to read an excellent book.
