4.0 out of 5 stars Last Junior Year, March 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Last junior year (Hardcover)

I read this book for the first time when still in grade school. I loved this book because I could relate with the horse subject that it contains. So many times the "horsey" books are written by authors who are not really familliar with how life really is in this strange horse show world that some of us live in. This book, although was in places very fictional, also had many realistic aspects to is as well as many true to life locations of horse shows as well as people. I hope to find a copy of this book for my daughter, because I am sure she will love it as much as I did.

I really liked this book. This book is a new twist on a familiar theme of a rider hoping to make the USET. Very horsey but a good read in general. Kim struggles to make it to the top in a sport where you often have to be wealthy to be competitive, but she learns that money is not the only thing that matters. She has to learn to deal with the reality of the horse world and reconcile it with her lifelong dream. Morgenroth does a wonderful job of relating to the have-not rider that works hard and aims high.
