Pride's Challenge (Thoroughbred Series #9)

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

150 reviews
Joanna Campbell

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Is There Really a Human Race?

Joanna Cotler, 2006

A picture book for grown-ups, too
While I don't usually review picture books, I highly recommend this charming book for adults who need to be reminded to slow down. I bought a copy to purchase for a youngster -- but was so moved by the message that I plan to keep it myself and will have to buy another. Curtis's important message is sure to strike a chord with over-scheduled adults who happen to be reading the book aloud to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sandpiper, 1998

Classic story with a message
This classic story carries a message, not only for children that don't want to help with their chores, but for anyone who hasn't quite got into the gardening mood. This book is all about helping, sharing, and making an effort in your own behalf. I bring it along with me when doing presentations on gardening and food security, and the grown ups pick it up read it, and they really get it. Great ...

My 5yr old son is a huge fan of Magic School Bus series. Especially, Solat system and human body are his favorite among them. He memorizes the order of all the plantes in the Solar system. Draw pictures about it and make planets with playdough. Great book!

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 ...

Mr. Beefy, I Ate A Pie Too!
This book makes me feel like a kid at heart. It's great fun to read it giving each animal it's own voice since you can really sense the different personalities from each drawing and story. I also think it's a good lesson for children because, let's face it, some of these dogs are totally neurotic! I think it's a good way to show kids that everyone, including animals, have their own little ...

The Wisdom of No Escape: And the Path of Loving-Kindness

Pema Chodron

Shambhala Audio, 2008

Very practical, accessible and well-written....
This is one of my favorite books by Pema Chodron. It not only does a very good job of describing the essence of Buddhism, but it goes beyond that in making Tibetan Buddhism more understandable and relevant to a Western audience without deveating from the tradition. In short, it contains the heart of the teachings of the Vajrayana. A nice complimentary book if you are interested in going deeper ...

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 ...
