4.0 out of 5 stars
An Irish Traveller family faces disaster and changes.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Blue Horse (Paperback)
The Blue Horse is the only book I have ever read that has Irish Travellers as the main characters. Katie is a teenager who loves her life as a traveller, but when their caravan burns everything changes. Katie and her family have to learn to live a new and very different life. They are harassed and ridiculed because they live a life different from the mainstream. Everyone can learn something about tolerance and acceptance from this book

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very realistic and easy to read,
By Zheljko Stanimirovic "Zheljko Stanimirovic" (Belgrade, Serbia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Blue Horse (Paperback)
This girl has to start a new life, together with her family. There are used to constant traveling, but after their caravan burns down they have to live in a house. Children have to go to school as well. This is where the problem starts - many of the other people do not like gypsies and harass them around.The book approaches several aspects of discrimination that minorities have to face on daily basis. The author speaks of them matter-of-factly and still there is always hope on the horizon. Therefore it is suitable for younger readers. |
