Wonder's Victory (Thoroughbred Series #4)

HarperCollins, 1991

DONT LET THOROUGHBRED DIE
Wonder and Ashleigh make the best team in the world. Wonder is such a great filly who loves to race and win. It waz really great that Ashleigh got to ride Wonder in th Breeders Cup Classic due to Jilly's injury but Wonder couldnt have done it without Ashligh. Wonder runs like she is flying with wings. I really hated when Jennings and Brad tried to ruin Wonders chances in the race, but luckily ...

Thoroughbred's Challenge -- Save the Series!
I first read Pride's Challenge when I was in second grade. I bought it at a book fair because it had a horse on the cover and reading about a sixteen-year-old sounded glamorous and exciting. Well, I read the book cover-to-cover more times than I can count; I can even still recite the majority of the first chapter (and, bizarrely enough, Joanna Campbell's bio) by heart. It wasn't long before I ...

A Horse Called Wonder

Demco Media, 1992

Five stars is the obvious choice.
This is pretty much the one Thoroughbred book that demands five stars. Giving it anything less hardly seems possible, although realistically it's probably worth just over four stars given that it moves slowly and falls into a monotony that can only be expected when the plot revolves around saving a sickly foal. Ashleigh is what can only be described as a typical horse story main character, ...

Sad but Awesome
Thoroughbred are my favorite books in the whole wide world!! They rock!! About Ashleigh's diary. It was one of the best books I've ever read. Also the saddest. I got very sad when black night and wanderer got stolen. The saddest part of the book is when all the horses die. I cryed when black night died. Also when Ashleigh had to move and leave stardust. I've been reading thoroughbred ...

Joanna Campbell

HarperCollins, 1991

Best Out Of All I've Read
This is probably my favorite book in the whole series. Wonder a thoroughbred filly, is ruined during training but Ashleigh Griffen, a 13-year old girl, Charlie, a retired trainer and Jilly, a young jockey believe she still has potential. They work hard with her and the ending is so wonderful and relieving.

Really good book, but sorta werid...
I loved this book, just like all the other ones, but it was really weird how they had all this stuff that was a dream and never really happened! It sorta gives you a fake idea of what will come. But dont get me wrong I loved the book and the story line was really cool. I absolutly love Jazz Godess! She was like almost one of those perfect horses! Except when she crushed Christinas leg, but ...

HarperEntertainment, 1998

Great Book
Let me start off by telling you that I am not a horse fanatic! But my grandma and grandpa gave this book to me for my birthday once, and after years and years of allowing it to sit on my shelf and collect dust, I finally decided to give it a chance. This was a detailed book that really pulled me in. I felt like I was right there with Ashleigh, riding through the forest...as a matter of fact, I ...

HarperCollins, 1991

Essential reading for any young equestrian, don't let it end
This was the first Thoroughbred book I ever read and still holds a special place in my heart. This is a truly well-written book that I have enjoyed upon many re-readings. Unfortunately, Harper Collins has decided to end the series abruptly after #72. With such a dedicated following and online fan base with members from all over the world, this is a classic and beloved series that has inspired ...

Horse for Christmas

Joanna Campbell

Rebound by Sagebrush, 1999

A great horse book!
This book is just so great! I loved it from the start to the end! I got it for Christmas and I thought that title was very fitting, "A Horse for Christmas". :) Lightning, the poor abused horse Ashleigh and her friend Mona had rescued, had gradually become back to normal again. She's beautiful and Ashleigh took it for granted that Lightning was hers. After all, she was the one who took care of it ...

Topeka Bindery, 2003

Good...but not the best
I loved this book, though it wasn't my favorite. I don't understand why they put in the part with Legacy and why they are doing books centering on other famous thoroughbreds (Seattle Slew). But I still liked how they drew out Mel and Christinia's relationship and that they want to repair it. Also, there were parts in the book where Chris was trying to supress her feelings for Parker, but when he ...

An Addict
I was given this book when I was around 8 or 9 years old, it has been many years and sadly to say my copy was lost to me a couple years ago. It is one of my favorite books and I am currently awaiting my chance to read it again. This book is about overcoming everyday fears, growing pains and facing yourself as well as the world, plus its about a horse..how could you go wrong :) Great read for any ...

A really good book in the series!
This is another really good and important book in the Thoroughbred series. This book is about Shinning, half sister to the famous and one of the greatest racehorses of all times, Ashleigh Wonder. Shinning came to the farm abused and neglected. Samantha, the main character, turns Shinning around. Then Shinning is given to her. But what if Shinning helps a little girl get better and her ...

amazing
The begining of this series is the best out of all of them. i have read this series since the sixth grade and now am in the twelveth. the supence of these books do the best to show the talent of Joanna Campbell. dealing with Brad Townsend and all the other doubtful staff memebers, Ashleigh shows that with a little love and tender care, anything is possible. i highly recomend these books to anyone ...

Joanna Campbell, Chris Platt

HarperEntertainment, 1999

Nice!
This book was a wonderful edition to the Ashleigh series. Both Ashleigh and Rhoda are faced with confidence problems and they help each other out. Although, in the early Thoroughbred books, Ashleigh says she has never been to a track. And here, there is a Derby winner. But this book was one of the best books in Thoroughbred OR Ashleigh series. Keep up the good work! Signed- a ...

Paper, Scissors, Death: A Kiki Lowenstein Scrap-N-Craft Mystery

MIDNIGHT INK, 2008

Cropped My Socks Off
I'm no scrapbooker. In fact, I'm not very crafty at all, so I wasn't sure how much I'd enjoy a "Scrap and Craft" mystery. I needn't have worried. Kiki the professional victim drove me a little crazy at first, as I'm more of a (less hairy) Dodie, myself. But I loved the way Kiki's friends Dodie and Mert quickly signed her up for "Tough Tamales University, School of Hard Knocks" and toughened ...

Joanna Campbell

HarperEntertainment, 1999

Great Book
This was a great book. Ashleigh's favorite yearling colt, Midnight Wanderer got injured in a fight with Sparky, another yearling colt. His canon bone was broken in the fight, and the vets says he should be put down. He is given to weeks to get better. Midnight only gets worse and must be put down. That was the saddest part! Midnight was so beautiful! Ashleigh neglected her mare Stardust after ...
