READ SOME OF THE REVIEWS - this is a small portion of all the reviews given to this book - "If you like adventurous stories, get this series!" - The Old Schoolhouse Magazine "Frosty: The Adventures of a Morgan Horse is a delightful book with an eye-catching cover. It combines the unbeatable combination of horses and drama, and teen readers, especially girls, will love it. From the first chapter, it captures the reader's interest and sets up an engaging plot: how is this girl going to buy this horse and what will happen if she does? For any kid who loves animals, this is a must read. I especially liked the way the author puts both horses and Heather in jeopardy, yet gets them out convincingly without creating a boring or pat ending. The tension goes right up into the last few pages, and I think readers will really enjoy the feeling of being around stables and arenas and the beautiful horses. The writing is so descriptive that you really feel like you are right there with Heather, Frosty and Blackjack throughout the entire book. This would be a great book for anyone who loves horses or animals in general. Great idea!" - Writer's Digest "The adventurous sequel to Ellen F. Feld's novel, Blackjack, Frosty: The Adventures of a Morgan Horse is a thoroughly delightful novel for young readers about a girl and her relationship with powerful and noble animals. Heather Richardson, owner of the horse Blackjack, is entrusted with a rare gray Morgan named Frosty. Heather learns to her disappointment that not all horses are meant for the show ring, yet she also discovers that Frosty's strength lies in trail riding as she and Frosty must learn to work together to survive the woods of Vermont. Frosty is a story to be cherished by horse lovers of all ages." - Midwest Book Review "Ellen F. Feld, award-winning author, equine journalist and phenomenally passionate horse lover, once again reaches out to the hearts and dreams of the teenaged horse loving set with her newly revised book, Frosty. Reading Frosty instantly transported me back to my childhood days and returned to me the wonderment and awe I used to feel when I'd hide under the covers with a flashlight, turn page after page of a favorite book and read to my heart's delight. This is one of those rare timeless books that can be enjoyed and read by all age levels. It's very easy to see why this is a Children's Choice award winner because this reviewer thinks it's a winner too!" - Debbie Fowler, Roundtable Reviews "The story is both adventurous and suspenseful." - Eventing USA "Instead of typical horse story type adventures, Feld has come up with a very different type of adventure for Heather and Frosty which provides the reader with an exciting and educational view of the challenging and potentially dangerous sport of trail riding. Will Heather and Frosty survive their trail riding adventure? Will the vet discover the cause of Blackjack's mysterious problem? Be prepared, for discovering how Feld answers these questions will keep you glued to this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and, after staying up half the night to finish it, would recommend it to horse lovers of all ages." - Susan Dudasik, Just Horses "...This is a very engaging read for horse-crazy pre-teens who will keep turning the pages as author Ellen Feld skillfully weaves horse care and training information into a very entertaining story about the adventures of a young girl who loves Morgan horses." - Horses All |
