5.0 out of 5 stars The best!, October 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Shining's Orphan (Thoroughbred Series #12) (Paperback)

I loved this book!! I think it would be very surprising to go into the barn to check on your horse and find a girl in the stall next to your horse!! I really hate it when Angelique tries to steal Tor from Samantha. I think the Thoroughbred series books are very emotional. They make you feel like you are one of the characters. I have read #1 through #12, and one Super Edition, and I have really liked them all. I seriously recommend this book and the rest of the series!!! If you haven't read this book, you should!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cindy the runaway foster child, April 13, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Shining's Orphan (Thoroughbred Series #12) (Paperback)

I loved this book, it was the best Thoroughbred book I have ever read. If you have read the other books in the Thoroughbred series I conceder reading this book. I love this book because when Samantha finds cindy in the barn with the orphan foals she dosnt kick her out, she and her family fight to become Cindys foster parents. I also love it because in the end cindy gets to stay with Samantha's family for a llittle while. I sure am glad she didn't have to go with that awful Mrs. Lovell.
