Review Detail

What a fantastic read for young horse lovers! Which I was, of course, in my day. Okay, full confession--still am. And this story pulled me into the mind of the horse (it's written from a horse's perspective!) immediately. This story has perfect anthropomorphism blended with all kinds of facts about the natural world, especially the world of horses--wild mustangs in particular. Their relationships and dynamics are detailed in such a way that I didn't even realize how much I was learning until I finished! Even the horse dialogue was well-written. This story will cause the reader to care about animal mistreatment while learning a piece of history, and also, how one person--even a child--can bring about change in our world. Highly recommended. I want to read the rest of the Horse Diaries now!
