5.0 out of 5 stars Unknown Champion, June 18, 2000

By	Courtney Rempel (Manitoba, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Melanie's Treasure (Thoroughbred Series #25) (Mass Market Paperback)

Melanie's Treasure is my favorite Thoroughbred book. Everyone thinks Mel knows nothing about horses, but she does. She workes some miracles with a horse named Pirate Treasure, and they instantly bond. The trainer, Ian McLean, puts Pirate out to pasture because he bumped 2 mares, one on the track and one in workouts. Then they decide to geld him. In the end, Melanie discoveres that he is blind! I love this book because the outcome is always surprising.

5.0 out of 5 stars great story, January 23, 1999

This review is from: Melanie's Treasure (Thoroughbred Series #25) (Mass Market Paperback)

I really loved this book. If I were Melanie, I would probably feel like trash. I can relate to the way Melanie feels when she leaves New York. I think this book was well written with a good plot.

4.0 out of 5 stars I like Pirate a whole lot!!!, January 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Melanie's Treasure (Thoroughbred Series #25) (Mass Market Paperback)

I like Pirate alot, and Melanie's pretty good. I didn't like her in #24, but I sort of like her now. HEY!!! I'm lookin' for an e-pal! If anybody wants to be pals to talk horses (strictly horses) we need to talk. I'm 11 years old, totally insane about horses (I'm like Ashleigh, Cindy, Christina's GOOD side, and Melanie), I want to be a jockey, and if you be my e-pal I'll tell you more. So e-mail me at the adress above.
