Customer Reviews

A girls's book: plain and simple!

I do not recommend this book for families that have concerns about their child being exposed to stories about pagan gods. It is a safe read for young girls other than that concern. Only one part in the book was predictable and a bit dramatic, but it is still a good story about a 13 year-old girl who finds a mystery surrounding her family while she is on holiday in Sweden. This book first caught my eye because I once owned a Gotland pony and a Gotland...I won't spoil the book for the reader!
