Thoroughbred #71: Calamity Jinx

by Mary Newhall Anderson

Book Overview

Life at Tall Oaks is great for Allie, but she's watching her friends Melanie and Kevin struggle with Jinx, the talented Thoroughbred colt they want to run in the Kentucky Derby. If Allie could just pinpoint the cause of Jinx's misbehavior, maybe they could fix the problem and he'd have a good shot at a Derby win.

Customer Reviews

Wonderful!

I loved this book! It was really good! Melanie's horse, Hi Jinx, hasn't been doing too well on the track. He finished last on the Fountain of Youth Stakes, and Kevin and Melanie continue to argue about Jinx's training.Then Allie steps in and tells them that Jinx would race better if they quit arguing. But everything turns out well in the end. And not only does Jinx do well in the race but Samantha's twins are born! Not only was the book great, but the covers are looking better now! Sadly the next book is the last. I'm really gonna miss them. I love these books, I hope they'll change their minds.

Good

I have never read this book,but the front cover looks Charming! But as they say: "You can't juge a book by the cover". Have a nice read::::::::
