I'm delighted to find Jane Smiley creating more and with such full characters. A very worth while read. ( ) Pulitzer Prize winning author Jane Smiley continues to share her love and knowledge of horses in this moving sequel to "The Georges and the Jewels." Thirteen-year-old Abby Lovitt finds herself feeling protective toward Jack, a beautiful orphan colt who may be the offspring of a pedigreed stolen mare, and could be taken from her family ranch in 1960s California. Black George, another good horse, may also be sold to rich people on the show circuit, and when heartbreaking decisions must be made, Abby's love of these horses and her faith provide an anchor. Horse enthusiasts will appreciate the illustrations and long passages about riding, grooming, training, jumping and showing horses in this winning coming-of-age tale with memorable characters, both horse and human. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: When eighth grader Abby Lovitt looks out at those pure-gold rolling hills, she knows there's no place she'd rather be than her family's ranch--even with all the hard work of tending to nine horses. But some chores are no work at all, like grooming young Jack. At eight months, his rough foal coat has shed out, leaving a smooth, rich silk, like chocolate. As for Black George, such a good horse, it turns out he's a natural jumper. When he and Abby clear four feet easy as pie, heads start to turn at the ring--buyers' heads--and Abby knows Daddy won't turn down a good offer. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
