5.0 out of 5 stars The best!, March 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Wonder's Victory (Thoroughbred Series #4) (Paperback)

I loved Wonder's Victory! Personally it is my favorite Thoroughbred book. Even though Wonder wins the Kentucky Derby in Wonder's First Race, I just like this one better. It is so good, especially since Joanna Campbell wrote it (though the next generation books are getting better, book by book). And also since this is the last book totally about Wonder and Ashleigh (#5 is only mostly about Ashleigh, then #6 is about Samantha). This book was wonderful!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Wonder's Victory (Thoroughbred Series #4) (Paperback)

If you like friendship and trust, but you absolutley love adventure, this is the book for you. There are lots of chills, like a mysterious problem with Wonder right before a big race.You will really like how Ashliegh handles problems with her life.
But when Wonder's jockey gets injured, who will ride Wonder. She is really tempermental, and won't run with any other jockeys. What will they do now? This book WILL suck you up, and you won't want to give it up.
