Winnie the horse gentler: Book 1 wild thing/Book 2 Eager Star

Wild thing is written by Dandi Mackall.  This book is about a 12 year old girl who loves horses and who finds one Arabian that takes her heart.  She is willing to do anything to have that horse.  This book also talks about having a good relationship with god so if you do not believe in god this is probably not the book for you.This is a great book that talks about horses hard work and many other things.

The second book Eager Star is about Winnie the girl trying to get a reputation.  People are paying her to train there horses but its still not quite there yet.  In the book Winnie learns a lot about paying moor attention to all the steps (not just to getting a reputation but to everything) and only paying attention to the finish line.

The Wanderer

The Wanderer is written by Sharon Creech.  The book is about a girl that is an orfan and is going to visit her new Grandpa or Bompie for the first time.  She went with three of her uncles and two of her cosins.  To get to Bombie they had to sail across the ocean from America to England.  The cool thing is that she is writing down what they do and then in the next chapter it would be her cosin writing.  The confusing part is that somtime they say inthe sailer talk you tred this through that and through this... and it gets a little confusing.  Not the greatest book to read to little kids because somtimes it's boring.

MISS HICKORY

Miss Hickory is written by Carolyn Sherwin Baily.  This book is great!  It has wonderful pictures in black orange and white.  Fitting perfectly with the description.  Miss Hickory is a toy who is left behind.  She has to rely on great friend like wise crow to help her until she finds her happy place.  She has lots of friends other than crow and they all helped her at one time or another and they helped her get to a wonderful place.  That just shows how much friendship can do.
