Ten True Animal Rescues was a four out of five rated book written by Jeanne Betancourt. My favorite part was when the hamster, Snowball, saved the Holmans from the fire in their home while they were sleeping. My favorite character was Snowball. Each animal rescue takes place in a different location, including Connecticut and New Jersey. I learned animals can be the hero sometimes. This is a book I would recommend to a friend. To conclude, a great book to reed was Ten True Animal Rescues.

My 8 year old son loved this book so much he insisted on reading the stories out loud to me. Who would have ever thought that a guinea pig could save a family from a burning house!

These ten stories are about animals who saved the lives of their owners or complete strangers. Read about a dog who saves a family from a burning house, a cat who saves a baby girl, and much more! These animals are more than just cute and lovable--- they save lives!

This book was okay. But I kinda got a little bored during the trail rides. It's an okay book, but I suggest making the books longer. But I liked it and I think you should read it.

YEEHAAW! I love this book and my pony does too!

Lulu comes back from visiting her god parents. She discovers that her Pony Pals new friend Charlie is riding her pony Snow White western. Lulu is angry. What's worse is that her Pony Pals are spending more time with Charlie and planning the Hoedown. Lulu finds a letter in her suitcase inviting her and Snow White back to Alica's and the with all this western stuff Lulu just might accept! Read this book and find out if she goes or stays in Wiggens with Pam, Anna, Acorn and Lightning!

This book was okay. I used to read Pony Pal books but I outgrew them. I like this book when I was reading them because it was realistic. It is one of my favorites and I really like it. You should really read this book today!

This is another great Pony Pal book.Acorn my Pony and I love it!Anna teaches Acorn some tricks.They get along great.When the circus comes to town Anna and Acorn are happy.And when a girl called Crystal asks is she can substitute for Jumper the pony they are excited.Its a dream come true for Anna and Acorn.Anna wants to join the circus!Lulu and Pam are upset.Snowhite escaped from her paddock and Lightning is getting sad.Anna faces a big decision.Will she follow the path of Crystal and her circus friends?Or stay in Wiggens with her Pony Pals?Find out!

Anna wants to join the circus after she meets Crystal, a girl her age travelling with the circus. Will Anna and Acorn join the circus or stay with their family and friends?

This book was about Anna joining the circus with her new friend Cristal and Anna`s pony Acorn. The best part was Acorn's first trick and the first star.

Pam,Anna and Lulu are going camping. Before Lulu leaves her father gives her a small camera because he is leaving. When Lulu is going along a trail on the Wiggins Estate she is taking pictures when Snow White steps in a trap. Who is Trapping on the Wiggins Estate?

It is the best book because the Pony Pals worked together to help the pony Snow White.

While riding on Ms.Wiggins trails Lulu gets her pony's hoof trapped in a animal trap. Ms.Wiggins would not allow that! Can the Pony Pals save the animals?

I think this book is great.Acorn does too.Lulu loves her white welsh pony snow white.But Lulu must give her back to Rema.Snow white is her pony.Lulu is upset to see and hear how Rema treats Snow white.Not even a party can make her feel better.Then Lulus dad comes home and the Pony Pals must convince Rema to let Lulu buy Snow white.Will Lulu and Snow white be together 4-eva?Find Out.

Lulu has to give Snow White to the snobby Rema. Rema locks up Snow White and treats her badly. Lulu gets to buy Snow White afterwards, thankfully. If I could I would rate this story 100 stars!

lulu has leased a pony from Rema.As soon as Rema comes home from boarding school Lulu has to give snowhite back.This is a good book now you read it.

In The Saddest Pony Lightning find a pony named Ginger. They think Ginger's owners are mean. Because she is not treated correct.
Can the pony pals save Ginger?

I totally do NOT agree with that reader from canada.My nan is pretty old and she is NOT dead.My pony Acorn's mum is almost 25 and she isn't dead!
Pam and her Pony Lightning meet Ginger the Pony[Not saying how].She is old and not looked after well.Pam,Anna,Lulu,Lightning,Acorn and Snow white need to help her and her owners.This is a touching story that relates to loving all animals especially Horses.A good no Great book like all books.Read it it's great.

It was a great book! I like all pony pal books! Pam and Lightning find an old pony. The owners of that pony don't take care of her properly. The Pony Pals want to find out about the pony's owners and why they don't take care of her. They are thinking of a plan to help the pony.

This book, is cute. Im 19 and I have danced since I was 6. Kate's Turn is a cute book to read but lacks a strong plot to carry it. It shows the true nature of a hard working dancer however, the choice to leave something Kate has done for years seems very easy. Most of the time this is not true...its a nice easy read though

Kate's Turn is the story of 13-year-old Kate Conway, from Oregon, who has been accepted at the National Ballet School in New York City to study as a serious dancer. There she meets other aspiring ballerinas; her housemother, Ruth, who used to be a dancer before she had a baby; and the son, Jason, who is now a teenager. Kate watches her friends succeed and fail, one girl return home for a knee transplant, and ultimately decides that she would rather live a "normal" teenage life and not continue with her dance scholarship.

I've enjoyed this book for nine years, but now that I'm older the plot failings are more obvious. While it made sense to *me* that Kate might not want to be immersed in a worse of fierce competition and eating disorders for the rest of her life, it seemed that she made that choice too quickly. I can stand on the outside of the dance world and say this, but I haven't been dancing seriously for seven years, the way Kate has. It seemed that she was able to leave the dance world too easily.

Kate's Turn has a lot of virtues, though: the characters are fun and believable, especially Olga, the dancer from Russia, and Kate's unlikely friendship with Jason also provides some laughs, as well as insight. Jason's relationship with his mother is also interesting and believable in that tragic way of unwanted children; at the end, when Kate is flipping through a book of old pictures of famous ballerinas, she sees a picture of Ruth and realizes that Ruth really was a great ballerina before she had Jason. The book is also a hard objective look at some rather gritty subjects - specifically eating disorders - in a way that children can relate to.

It's nice to see Kate making the decision to do something different with her life, but since we don't really know what at the end of the book, it's hard to judge whether the decision has actually been worth it. The book ends with some beautiful writing, but no real sense of closure. One has the idea that maybe Betancourt left it open for a sequel, then didn't want to spoil the simple beauty of the story she had told.

I first read Kate's Turn over 6 years ago, (I'm now 16), and I've read it many times since. It is realistic, all her characters certainly could be real. It is all about ballet dancing and living in New York (though less on the latter). It's a classic, it is easy to read and very fulfilling. Any aspiring ballerina should read it!

The story line has a prejudice plot, with the story starting to sound like a mushy romance, but of course, no story is complete without one. When all is well, some Asian comes, Dary Sing, and that is mainly when the prejudice starts. Brad, a big jock, has a crush on Liz, the main character, but Liz loves Been Lee, a natural born United States citizen with a Chinese heritage. So you can see the love circle problem here right? Liz, though, helps Dary try to fit in and with her English, but only Dary, Mrs. Dahm (Dary's aunt) and the teachers cares. But it seems that when she is with Dary Ben avoids her. But even for ben to see Liz he has to lie to his parents. Will ben ever face up tp his parents? Will Brad ever stop being prejudice? Will Dary unravel her horrific past of Cambodia? Read More Than Meets The Eye.
Ok, this book was ok, not bad really. Although it did get boring in some spots but the rest was ok. This book would be great for all readers.

More Than Meets the eye is a book about a girl named Elizibeth. elizibeth is a sophmore at Ethan Allen High School. She is neck and neck for 1st in class with Ben Lee, a Chineese-American boy who Liz likes. But when Dary sing, a girl transferd from Cambodia, comes to ethan Allen, Liz volenteers to show her around and to teach her English. Ben doesn't like the fact that people think he would of been the one to volenteer to help Dary out. But the only one to help was Liz. A guy named Brad doesn't like Ben becuase Liz likes Ben and Be n likes Liz. He wants to prove liz wrong by doing his homework and bye volenteering for two new students from across the world. I think this book was really good. I thought it would be kind of boring, but it turned out to be pretty good.

This book was about a Cambodian girl that must more to America because her parents have died. She needs some help because she can't speak English at all. Liz is assigned to help Dary find her way around school. Liz finds herself spending more and more time helping Dary and less and less time hanging out with her friends. Liz doesn't know what to do and how to help Dary, but at the same time hang out and enjoy her life with her friends.
I really liked this book because it taught me that everyone has different things to offer. People shouldn't judge people by physical appearance but what he or she has to offer on the inside.
This book, I think, is not like any other book I have ever read. It has many different types of people and shows how it might be hard for someone who speaks a different language to come to America and have to speak English.

I think that the story of our ponies is awsome.... Also by the way i know that because I have read every one of them and I RIDE HORSES....Also any one whom dosn't own this book you should buy it because I know it is the greatest book ever told.

Hi!This was the first Pony Pal book I ever got along with The Blind Pony.After I read it my mum got me a pony for my birthday!In this book Lulu is happy to meet her pony Snowhites son Snowflake.The Pony Pals do some detective work.Anna finds out why Acorn had so many homes and Pam finds out that Lightning was born in Ireland!But Lulu is upset.Snowflake is on auction and she loves the little pony.But an unexpected lady arrives.Will her daughter get a Pony?Find Out.I love this book because it bought me and Acorn together.

I'm a pony pal and I want to read all of the books so I know all about ponies and horses.

In this book, Pam finds herself having trouble with Lightning that she doesn't know why. Soon, Lightning starts getting more dangerous and gives Pam a couple more bruises. That's when it's decided to get Pam's dad involved, but what's wrong with Pam's Pony? I liked that at the beginning for once that I didn't have a clue what the problem was. Even though I am getting a little old for this series, I like the fact that these books are well written and deserved to be read.

Pam, one of the Pony Pals, is shocked to discover that Lightning, her pony, is behaving oddly. He seems upset with her, her friends, and even the other ponies. Pam soon learns the problem is more serious than Lightning's hurt feelings. Readers will be just as anxious as Pam for a happy resolution.

This is the first Pony Pals book I have read, and I found it very enjoyable. While its relatively straightforward plot and writing style are clearly aimed at younger readers (well, younger than me, anyway), I still got caught up in the emotion. I was also impressed at the level of complexity shown in the friendship between the Pony Pals. Yes, they're all friends, but that doesn't mean everything is always sweetness and light. I'm surprised to find myself wanting to read other books in the series, and I'm sure regular readers will be pleased by this installment.

I don't usually have trouble with my pony Acorn but I know what it's like to fall out of the saddle.It hurts!
Pam loves her chestnut Connamara pony Lightning.She never has trouble with her.But lately Lightning has been acting very strange.Pam falls off her back more than usual and gets a lot of bruises.Pam's Pony Pals Anna and Lulu are worried.So then Pam's dad the vet is called in.The Pony Pals find out that what is troubling the poor pony is more than feelings.Can the Pony Pals help Lightning?A great book to read and find out for yourself!
