About the book:
Blue Ribbon Trail Ride (David C. Cook, January 2016)
Thirteen-year old Kate and her friends came up with the perfect way to raise money for her autistic younger brother and others to attend summer camp—a horse scavenger hunt! As local businesses donate money and prizes, Kate keeps the entry fees in her mom’s antique jewelry box.
But when the box and the money disappear, Kate and her friends must unravel the clues, hold on to hope, and solve the mystery along the Blue Ribbon Trail Ride.
About the author:
Miralee Ferrell is the award-winning author of more than a dozen novels. She and her husband live along the Columbia River Gorge in southern Washington State, where she enjoysriding the wooded trails and spending time with her grown children. In addition to horses and dogs, Miralee once owned two cougars.
My thoughts:
Have you ever had a love of horses? This great series by Miralee Ferrell is going to be a hit in your house then. I was sent the whole series in conjunction with this review. They’re geared towards young adults and are a quick read for me. I also then passed them on to my 11 year old daughter and 9 year old son to read. They became instant fans and are ready for more books in the series!
We all loved getting to know our characters. I do have to say that my kids were a little disappointed that the kids didn’t all ride western because we ride western here at our house. Both of my children are getting riding lessons from their daddy and could relate to many aspects of the story in not only Blue Ribbon Trail Ride but the other three books that came prior as well.
Even though these are written for a younger audience, I thoroughly enjoyed them. They have earned a spot on our shelves and will be read by the other children as they reach this reading level as well. That’s the true sign of a great book, wanting to share it with others and feeling the need to tell everyone about it. That’s definitely how my children felt about this book. This author has a gift with words and weaving a story together to capture and keep the attention of young readers.
