This is probably the best book I have ever read about a horse! This book is perfect for people who love a good mystery story, and who are horse lovers! In the story, at the end when Jas finds out that Whirlwind is alive I grabed the second book right away! I couldn't stop reading, the story is full of suspense, and a little romance.Jas Schular loves her horse Whirlwind more than anything in the entire world. Her love for that horse surely surpasses what every other equestrian feels. Then one day, all of that is torn away from her when she finds her horse dead. Whirlwind was poisoned, but her grandfather must have caught the deadly plant and extinguished its being. Jas would bet her life on the fact that one man in particular was out to get her beloved horse and break her fragile heart. This book is a heart warming story
I greatly enjoyed the topic of this book, but found it lacking in word choice and such. Being 14 years old and an accelerated reader, I was quite disappointed upon finding that the author's style of writing wasn't as eloquent as I would have liked. There were also some elements in the story that were unbelievable why would he hint towards Aladdin? How was her foster mother right there at the right time? Sadly, I can't give this book a 5 star review, but I felt it portrayed relationships between
Do you think it's fair if you are put into a Juvenile Detention Center for hitting someone after he killed your beloved prize-winning horse? Neither does 13-year-old Jasmine Schuler. Jas had a horse. A beautiful winning horse named Whirlwind. She rode at a very high-class riding barn and went to fancy horse shows each week. That was until her horse was killed. The stunning Whirlwind was murdered. The only person who would do such a thing would be Hugh Robiceaux, the owner of Jas's riding barn.
She was a flash of gold as she cantered around the ring. Ears pricked, neck arched, she moved like a movie star in the spotlight as she sailed over the last fence. Landing smoothly she slowed to a trot in front of the crowd, tossing her mane as if to say Wasnt I great? / Because she was great. She was the most beautiful horse in the world. / But now she was dead. (Hart #6) Jas life was torn apart that day they found Whirlwinds body, dead in the pasture with remanence of poisonous yew branches
Loved It!To be honest I first picked up this book in the library and read the back thinking that if it had a horse on the cover I would like it, wrong. At that point in my reading I was not one for violence in books that concerend animals mainly horses. But after a while I went back grabbed the book off the shelf and checked it out hoping I was making the right decision on reading it. Now that I look back at it I am glad that I did. A mystery in disguise this one can deal with multiple changes
For a middle grade horse book it was pretty good. Would definitely recommend for younger kids who like horse stories.
