- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5this book is awesome. I had me on the edge of my seat when I got to the last few chapters. I relly recommend this book to any age.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Pulitzer Prize winning author Jane Smiley continues to share her love and knowledge of horses in this moving sequel to "The Georges and the Jewels." Thirteen-year-old Abby Lovitt finds herself feeling protective toward Jack, a beautiful orphan colt who may be the offspring of a pedigreed stolen mare, and could be taken from her family ranch in 1960s California. Black George, another good horse, may also be sold to rich people on the show circuit, and when heartbreaking decisions must be made, Abby's love of these horses and her faith provide an anchor. Horse enthusiasts will appreciate the illustrations and long passages about riding, grooming, training, jumping and showing horses in this winning coming-of-age tale with memorable characters, both horse and human.
