5.0 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC BOOK!
This is a fantastic book! I reccomend it to everyone! It's not just about horses. Actually, it's not really about horses that much. Yet it is still a very great book! I love it, and I am glad that I own it. I know I will read it time and time again. It has a great plot, with twists, interesting characters, and a wonderful ending.

This review is from: Sky Rider (Paperback)
Dusty's life for the past couple of years has been pretty bad. First her mom died suddenly, of a brain aneurism. Her father, unable to deal with the pain, started drinking heavily. He was driving drunk with Dusty in the car when they had an accident that left Dusty's spine permanently damaged. She lives in constant pain and will never be able to ride horses, her passion, again.

When her favorite horse, Tazz, becomes so sick he will have to be put down, it is almost more than Dusty can bear. The night before the vet comes for Tazz, though, a strange boy appears at the barn and rides him away. Dusty suspects the boy may be a ghost, the spirit of Skye Ryder, a boy from her school who died on her property while riding his dirt bike.

Skye is no friendly ghost, though. He is filled with rage over his death and sworn to revenge against the person who may have caused it by stringing a cable across the path. Dusty wants to help Skye find peace, but what price will she pay to do it?

I liked that Dusty's father has some major flaws, which makes him seem more human and real, and which makes Dusty a stronger character who has to take care of herself. Skye's character is an interesting one; he is a good blend of rage and compassion. However, Dusty seemed to grow attached to him far too quickly. She said she loved him, but she never really even knew him.

4.0 out of 5 stars I can't stop, NO WAY!, December 11, 2006
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Sky Rider (Paperback)
This book was very interesting. It was like I couldn't stop reading it, or I would worry about what happened all day. The book was like if I went up a river without out paddle. I was lost in some parts, but the book pulled them back together and made a big impression. In the story a girl, Dusty, had a horse. Her horse was very sick and had to be put down. When she spent the night in the barn, she felt a presence. Her new best friend could end up as murderer, or an angel, but it depends on her father and how she will take the news. If only they could figure out a way to stay safe, and to keep away from Dusty's new best friend. Will her father survive or die in misery? The book was a galore to read and I recomend it to any person who enjoys mysteries and haunting stories!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sky Rider, July 30, 2002
This review is from: Sky Rider (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, although it was short. A slightly strange yet interesting plot unfolds to a fairly predictable ending, but still a great book. There is so much emotion present in the book that I felt satisfied after finishing it. Please write more!
