High Hurdles - by Lauraine Snelling

I like horses and have taken lessons. This book is all about horses and a young girl who has a dream to ride a horse of her own in the Olympics. The author, Lauraine Snelling, does a great job describing very realistic details and does an excellent job bringing the characters alive. The main character, DJ, was someone I could have known in my life. She wants her dream to come true, she prays ever night and works every day to save money. Her determination is something to admire and it teaches the readers that they can have dreams and if they dedicate themselves these dreams can come true. The only part of the book that I did not klike was her mother was always arguing with her mother. I don't think this helped the story at all. Otherwise, I found the book to be dramatic, exciting and fun to read. I definitely would recommend this book.

A Real Cliffhanger!

This book couldn't get more mixed-up with the whole situation about Brad Atwood and his ranch. Especially when Lindy reveals to her daughter her past with Brad. And how she disapproves of her spending time with her biological father. Then comes the exciting exit to the book with Major in a ravine and DJ hanging onto a cliff branch for dear life. That hopeless situation and how she got out of it really keeps the reader intrigued. DJ, still as bold as ever, with even more thoughts to keep her occupied, helps you explore yourself as a teen even more. The concept and lessons in these books with such complex characters are so deep that these can teach the young and old about something more than nothing. Out Of The Blue, this book, appropriately named, was one of my favorites in the series. Simply out of the blue.
