4.0 out of 5 stars Good Transition Book for the Series, November 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ashleigh's Dream (Thoroughbred Series #5) (Paperback)

Ive just finished reading Ashleigh's Dream for like the 3rd time and liked it more than ever! I though Cambell did an excellent job bringing in Samantha and the book was a very good transition in the series between Ashleigh and Samantha. Also, in the third time I've read this book I realized the connection between Ashleigh's Dream and Battlecry Forever. Good Job, Joanna! It puts an interesting twist to the story. Even though the current TB books are getting kinda bad, I'd reccomend this book to any fan of the series who misses the originality of the first books. I also reccomend this book to any horse lover or horse series lover. Ashleigh's Dream happened to be the first book I read in the Thoroghbred series and was the book that urged me to continue reading the series. Also, TB fans, don't lose hope. The new writers I'm sure are trying hard to satisfy everyone's wants for the series and thats why the new books are so sparratic and confusing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Meet Samantha, a beloved character in a series worth saving, February 16, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Ashleigh's Dream (Thoroughbred Series #5) (Paperback)

After Wonder's victory in the Kentucky Derby, the Thoroughbred series really takes off - Ashleigh is a jockey, my favorite character in the series Samantha is introduced and Wonder gives birth to her very first foal. Plus, the focus is put on new horses such as Fleet Goddess. If you are a young equestrian or simply wish your world was a bit more horsey, this series is heavenly.

Unfortunately, Harper Collins has decided to end the series abruptly after #72. With such a dedicated following and online fan base with members from all over the world, this is a classic and beloved series that has inspired many people and provided horse fans with vicarious thrills and adventure. Ashleigh saved Wonder, now it's up to you to help save Thoroughbred. Go to www.whitebrookfarm.com and join the effort.

Goddess is my fav horse in this series! Ashleigh buys her at an auction, and she needs someone to help train her. Kind of confusing, but overall good.
