Twelve-year old Winnie Willis loves horses--just like her mother did. But since her Mom died two years ago, Winnie, her sister, Lizzy, and her father have moved five times. Winnie never cared much-until now.
She has a chance to buy the horse of her dreams at an upcoming auction--but how will she earn enough money?
More importantly, how can she possibly convince her dad not to move them to another town...again?
Interest level:8-14.

Don't be fooled by the horses! These books are for all girls! The main charector loves horses, but the real charm is in the charectors themselves. A heart-moving and inspiring series of a girl whom w/the events envolving her sister,dad, and newfound friends; finds her courage to talk to God again.
I would say the charectors may be 11-14 yrs. old, but are idealistically more mature.
I have never read any book that has given a child a more realistic vision of having a relationship with God as these! You will love the children, wish you had friends like these, and rather, want to be one. GET THEM ALL!!!

This is a great book. I love it!!!
Great start to the series
Wild Thing is a great introduction to horses for children. There is a dictionary of terms for horse talk, kinds of horses, and a diagram of the parts of a horse all included in this book! The story is also interesting - I look forward to reading more in this series.

Twelve year old Winnie has a way with horses. She helps gentle an Arabian horse that others thought was wild, and learns some valuable lessons in the process.
I thought this was a cute young adult novel about horses and a girl dealing with choices. There is a list of terms in the back about horses for those who might not be familiar with some of the words. I have read other books by this author and they have all been good.
