This is powerful writing, but never preachy.<br />I also really liked the character development over the three books. Children do grow up in bursts and the reader can see this happening to Joe and his sister. And the ponies! They are all brilliant, I particularly enjoyed Lightning, and the slightly batty ex-racer/broodmare.<br />Lovely lovely stories and I can't wait for more :)Sue Howesnoreply@blogger.com
