Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Skye Nicholson once was a rebellious juvenile delinquent. She’d been through more foster homes than she cared to remember. She trusted no one and had a hard time loving anyone, especially herself. She was a lot like Sooze Bodmer, her long-time friend and “partner in crime,” before love found her inside the home of Tom and Eileen Chambers.
Through a difficult turn of events in Sooze’s life, the Chambers once again open their home and Keystone Stables to another hard-edged teen. Now Skye is challenged to help someone that reminds her of herself. When an unexpected crisis occurs in Sooze’s life, both girls learn what it means to not only believe in God, but to trust him even when the future seems uncertain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great! Even better than Book One., November 29, 2004
This review is from: A True Test for Skye (Keystone Stables, No. 2) (Paperback)
Skye Nicholson has found love and security with Tom and Eileen Chambers at Keystone Stables. Skye had been shunted from one foster home after another had finally exhausted the patience of the judge who was ready to place her in juvenile detention and throw away the key. She is `rescued' when Tom and Eileen take her into their home and heart. And of course, Skye's "love affair" with Champ, the thoroughbred Quarter Horse upon whose back she won a blue ribbon has helped with her growth.

Sooze Bodner, a friend and fellow juvenile delinquent, is in trouble, and her influence threatens to pull Skye back into her old ways. Sooze lives at home with her indifferent mother who has given up on discipline, allowing Sooze to do just as she pleases-and she does. Faced with the same final destination of juvenile detention as Skye had, Sooze is placed in the care of Tom and Eileen. Sooze is a hard case, and even though Skye tries to tell her it's not so bad, Sooze plots to escape. She thinks she can do things her own way and doesn't have to obey the rules set down by Tom and Eileen.

With Sooze around, Skye faces some tough challenges. When Skye gets caught up in Sooze's attempt to escape the resulting crisis brings both girls to a realization of what it means to have a loving God and to learn to put their trust in Him, no matter how bleak or uncertain the future may be.

A TRUE TEST FOR SKYE is book two in the Keystone Stables series. We met Skye in book one, THE TROUBLE WITH SKYE. Marsha Hubler does another great job with book two, and I urge to get both of these books, especially if you have, or know of, a teen that is in similar trouble. Also, watch for book three, TROUBLE TIMES TWO, coming soon, and book four, TEAMWORK AT CAMP TIOGA, coming in spring, 2005. I highly recommend these books.
