Emma loves horses, however she said that the quality of the writing was strong and gave real personality to the horse. She liked the way it was not rushed in any way, includes maps and diagrams so that you are not losing the storyline.
Emma felt that anyone would like reading it. She thought that the length matches the age. She still finds it an exciting story now that she is onto her 3rd book. The other reason she liked it so much was that is was located in Australia
Rated: 4.9 ... recommended for those aged 9+ (suitable for both genders!)
