Hope it helps

This is one of my favorite books. Mandy arrives home from camp, and her father gives her a horse for her thirteenth birthday. She calls her friend, Laura, and asks her to come over. Laura seems cool and distant when they talk. A new boy is helping around the stables and both Mandy and Laura like him causing more distance to come between them. Laura and Mandy have a fight and Laura runs off. Later Mandy finds that Solana, her horse, got free and is now sick from eating too much rich food. Later Mandy sees Laura and they exchange words. Then Laura rides off in the night and doesn't come back. She is missing and search parties are sent out. A day passes and they still can't fin her. Mandy rides off on Solana her horse, who is now better, and finds Laura in one of their many spots they went too. She knows Laura needs medical help right away so she ties hers and Laura's scarves to her horse and sends it home, hoping it will be able to find its way. Her father and the other searchers see the horse and figure out the message. They come and help Laura. She has a broken leg. Mandy visits Laura afterwards and they have a talk. I think this is a highly interesting book. Hope you enjoy it.

Mandy Go's Sad

A Horse For Mandy This book that I'm writing about is A Horse For Mandy. The author is Lurlene Mc Daniel. She gets a phone call from a friend and she says do you wont a horse the friend says and Mandy says yes. Mandy got to ride the horse and the horse name is Solana. The connecon to the book is Horse's because the horse run away and come back and so dues Solana. My option is that it is really sad, and it is a awesome book ho yah I forgot to say the main character and she is Mandy and it is a Biography. By Heather

OK
