Customer Reviews

An Adventrous book for all!!

Danser was one of my favourite books of all time! It really focused on one determined girl and her horse. Shelley Peterson really put her heart into this book when she wrote Dancer because her choice of words are unbelievable. They way she puts suspence, excitment and breath-taking events into one paragraph is incredible. This book makes your heart pound and makes your eyes cry. It can be an emotional but exciting book at times. I reccomend this book to all people, it is truly a one of a kind book!!

DANCER IS A "MUST READ"

This is an awesome book! It's one of the best books I've ever read! Mousie is a spunky, strong girl who has problems she must deal with. Her love of animals and her sense of adventure are wonderful! I couldn't put the book down until I finished! Anyone who enjoys an adventure novel, or who loves horses MUST read Dancer!

Dancer

This is an awesome and outstanding book! Mousie is an average girl who is picked on at school and her only friend is her horse, Dancer. She is invited to ride for the Queen of England. Along with the troubles in her life she copes with, her dad gone and Mr. Owens trying anything to get their outstanding horse, Mousie finds new love for everything. This is one of my favorites!

An amazing book!

Dancer brings all of my "horsey" fantasies to life. I've ridden for four years now, and have always dreamed of doing just what Mousie did. It sent shivers up and down my spine just thinking about having the skill to be asked to come to Europe and ride before the Queen. I loved reading about Dancer and Mousie, whether she was saving him from a kidnapping, or jumping the perfect jump at an exhibition. I loved the mystery and thrill Ms. Peterson put into the book, never brushing by small details, but making you feel that you were right there with Mousie, watching Dancer show off his breath-taking talent. There was never a dull moment. Her style of writing makes things that could be boring in some authors' hands, like choosing the clothes to take on the trip, seem exciting and fun, as you could sense the happiness Mousie and her mother felt. I read Dancer from cover to cover in a day, and eagerly went searching for Abby Malone. Even though the book is classified as 'a horse book,' I think everyone would enjoy reading it. It's not just another horse story, it's filled with suspense, action, and a bit of romance, (not to mention the perfect horse!) and once you pick it up, you can't put it down. I hope Ms. Peterson continues to amaze us with her books, and can't wait until the next one's out!

A great book for horse lovers

This is a wonderful book! This book is about a girl is asked to preform for the Queen. She also has to deal with alot of stuff, including a man wants her horse, Dancer for his niece, and hires people to try to steal him. An A rated book.
