Rated 4 STARS
These short stories were presented to me at one time and I
really enjoyed them. Piper Jones is the
heroine of the stories and she and her friend Addie keep coming upon horses
that need their help. They live in a
small rural town which may seem an unlikely place but the author made the
circumstances believable.
I liked the relationship between Piper and Addie. It wasn’t perfect and they had to learn to
accept each other as they were. Piper
and her parents, who were divorced, have pretty normal teen/ parent
relationships.
Piper’s dad showed up more often to help since he was a
veterinarian but her mom was there for her too even when she embarked on a new
relationship with a man Piper liked.
Sometimes, I thought that Piper was a little immature but by
the third story I could see her growth and appreciated that the author took her
time to bring in romantic relationships as these stories were really about the
horses.
Gilkerson has a nice way of writing and the characters in
her stories are easy to like. She shows
an understanding of horses and the meaning of owning one of these beautiful
animals.
If you have a horse loving preteen or teen, these stories
should be of great interest to them.
