I loved horses as most little girls do, and this was my favorite book about them. I may be a little biased since my Uncle Monty wrote it.

Horse crazy kids like stories about horses and people that they can relate to...and that offer some realism. (At least I did.) I also appreciated stories that were worth saving and re-re-reading. This one is one of those. Great story, and the ending is not really what you would expect. If you like horses, find this one.

Absolutely wonderful! A great story about a girl, Lori, who loves horses but her mother is against them, especially oweing to the fact that her last pony broke her dad's arm. Lori is in love with a neighbor boy from school, and this boy acquires a beautiful Palomino Arabian mare named Storm, who hates and fears humans, due to abuse. The whole story details Lori's struggle with falling in love with Storm, trying to raise money to buy her, and the rich girl at school who wants both Storm and the boy Lori loves. MUST READ!!

I read this book when I was 12 years old. It was and has always been my favorite horse story. I would definitely rate it better than The Black Stallion or Black Beauty. I think the story is realistic and leaves you with a strong message to think about.
