Narrative Toward Books The One Dollar Horse (The One Dollar Horse #1)
Fifteen year old Casey Blue lives in East London’s grimmest tower block and volunteers at a local riding school, but her dream is to win the world’s greatest Three Day Event: the Badminton Horse Trials. When she rescues a starving, half-wild horse, she’s convinced that the impossible can be made possible. But she has reckoned without the consequences of her father’s criminal record, or the distraction of a boy with melty, dark eyes, with whom she refuses to fall in love. Casey learns the hard way that no matter how high you jump, or how fast you gallop, you can never outrun the past.Present Books Supposing The One Dollar Horse (The One Dollar Horse #1)

i thoght this book was amazing i just couldn't stop reading and the next book is even better can,t wait to read firestormThis is a nice horsey book, with a theme of hard work and dedication to a special horse taking a girl from rags to riches. The setting is London's multicultural east districts and rural England. I found it suitable for children rather than young adults, with one-dimensional characters.I would have liked the book more if it was not so full of clichés. Growing up I always wore a belt in case I would find a horse running wild down the street and have to catch him and lead him. (I never did; there
Casey Blue lives in a small flat in the bad part of London's East End and volunteers at a low end riding schoolso of course she dreams of riding (and winning!) at Badminton. When she hears the scream of a terrified horse and sees the big, skin-and-bone gray racing down a busy street, she grabs his rope and the disgusted slaughterhouse owner sells her the horse for $1 after the horse injures several employees. So with a starved and weak rescue horse, no money, no trainer, and no experience, the
This book is truly a brilliant, endearing, and inspirational read. I loved being able to travel with Casey and Storm on their journey from nothingness to stardom. Casey was a sweet girl who, in the end, didnt let things go to her head. Not to say that it was easy. No, it was a rough road, but she soldiered on and got her reward. I also really enjoyed Casey and Stroms relationship and how they built it. I am definitely one who believes in building trust with your horse as a foundation for what
Exciting, heart warming and enthralling! Didn't want to put this book down until I'd finished it!
When I was younger, about every second weekend I would visit the beautiful children's Lion and the Unicorn Bookshop in Richmond (which, sadly, has only recently closed) and one of my favourite choices would always be Lauren St. John's The White Giraffe series, which I devoured. Therefore when I saw not one, but two new Lauren St. John books on the Indigo Bloggers News I couldn't resist. Keeping with the animal theme like in her other books, St. John doesn't fail to enrapture and enchant readers
