Robin: The Lovable Morgan Horse (Morgan Horse Series) (The Morgan Horse Series)
The emotionally perceptive plot is creatively built around the fascinating details of horses, which gives the story an additional layer of interest. The characters are shown grooming, riding and showing horses, all of which actively engages the minds of readers. This information is presented in a practical, down-to-earth manner, as it both instructs and inspires. It was wonderfully refreshing to see the young people in the book showing tender care to these magnificent animals. The author is to be commended for writing a story that captivates readers with an exciting adventure while appealing to both their emotions and intellect. --Curled up with a Good Kid's BookThis mid-grade young ladies' horse novel uses a mixture of horse and human personality types to tell the story of Karen, a girl who is badly injured by an uncontrollable horse that runs away and throws her off in the path of a car.

We rated this book five hearts. --Bob Spear, Heartland ReviewsRobin is a great book for both girls and boys. In a nutshell, it's about a young rider who has a terrible riding accident and the friends and special horse who help her overcome her fears. We love the way it accurately portrays the responsibilities involved in caring for a horse, as well as the lessons we all learn in life with making not so right choices, and learning from our mistakes. Our Family Testers found the book to be a wonderful display of excellent educational values...should be in all libraries and homes. --Jodie Lynn, CEO of Parent to ParentWhat a blessing it is to find good clean books that children love!--Jenefer Igarashi, Senior Editor, The Old Schoolhouse MagazineWhat a blessing it is to find good clean books that children love!
