I received an e-book in exchange for my review.Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This is the second entry in the Old Quarry Lake Farms series. In this installment Shelby gets to spend a week at Horse Camp. She experiences the frustration of riding skills that won't stay put, taking a riding placement test, and intereacting with fellow students in ways she didn't expect. Along the way she discovers that she has more horse skills that she originally thought, uses her practical knowledge to help a sick horse, and how to cope with a know-it-all. Something I particularly like about this author is her ability to get inside a kids head and authentically express the thought processes and the kinds of thoughts kids this age would have. I could see my younger self in some of Shelby's concerns. Would recommend for young people, especially those interetsed in horses. This was a fun story, full of friendship, horses, and new experiences. I love the friendship between Shelby, Katherine, and Rose. They're unique but get along well, and support each other even though their experience levels with horses is so different. Shelby's nerves are totally understandable, and I think middle graders will find it easy to relate to her. Of course there's always someone looking to cause trouble, but I think it was handled really well from start to end by all the characters in the story. Whether they're a horse kid or not, middle graders are sure to enjoy this! Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This book is good for late primary, early intermediate readers who enjoy horse stories. It was a quick and easy read and had enough action to keep readers engaged. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
