Review #8849 - Dated: 17th of June, 2013
Author: kymmage |
This book was selected this evening for the bedtime story. I am really impressed with these books. At $10 you really can't go too wrong. They are 5 chapters each and they appeal to my girl. I think both of the recent books have because of the animal content especially. Ella and Olivia are sisters plus they have a baby brother called Max. This gives my daughter a lot to relate to. Having a young sister as well as having a baby in the house and everything that goes with that.
This book is about horses and the girls' friend Zoe. Zoe rides horses in competitions and the girls go along to see her event. I was quite interested to see what would happen here. I didn't read the blurb, but the drama is foreshadowed a bit by what the mum says to the girls as they ask if they can go. It also allowed me to talk to my girl about horses and safety around them.
At the event day, Ella accidentally enters an event herself. It is done quite well, and as a parent I can totally see how it happened. Remembering back to being 7, I can totally imagine not questioning an adult even if they were wrong about something. There is action and high drama as well as Zoe having to make some decisions that were the right ones but cost her a lot as well. We were on the edge of our seats.
