Goodreads Blurb:
Heart Trilby has no family. She lives a hard and lonely life in the dusty village of Ash Grove — until she finds a scarred, skinny mare in the forest. Against the wishes of her guardian, mean-spirited Simon Pratt, Heart adopts the mare and names her Avamir. Heart is thrilled when she realizes Avamir is in foal. But when the colt is born weak and disfigured, Simon decides to sell Heart's beloved horses to be slaughtered by the town's soapmaker. Can Heart find a way to protect them — and the only love she has ever known?
I've reviewed mostly boy books for MG Mondays. I love boy books! But not this week . . .
I can't tell you how much I love this series. Even though it is probably more girl than boy book, there is a strong boy character that my sons loved. The first time I read these books was when my oldest was only six. We bought the first three at a school book fair, and we read them aloud. Oh. How. I. LOVED. Them!! And the best part is that he loved them too. We devoured them all and I mourned the end of the series.
Then, I read them with my middle son. Yep! He loved them too.
Now, I'm almost ready to read them with my daughter. She will love them too (whether she wants to or not!). They are just that good.
Buy them! Read them! You, too, will LOVE them!
I do solemnly swear.

Thanks for suggesting them. I love unicorns.

Love the new cover. :D
My daughter's obsessions are now horses and dogs. I know she'd love this series, so I'm putting it on our list. Thanks for the excellent recommendations, as usual.

Thanks for sharing with us. I do find it extremely interesting so I'm adding it to my TBR pile.
Excellent recommendations, bff. Dang you ARE smart. :) I'd actually heard of these but never got them. Will, this week, because now I don't have to buy FAIRIES AND THE QUEST FOR NEVER LAND since I won it at Shannon M's blog. WOOT!
Did you notice heavenly fireworks last night? That was our prayer power lighting up the night sky.
I loved (still do) unicorns when I was growing up! I would have died to read this when I was a little girl.
Love unicorn stories.
I'm a sucker for unicorns :) and the covers are gorgeous!

I have this one in my class. I haven't read it yet, but several of my students have loved it! :)
I love that your daughter will love them "whether she wants to or not!" LOL! Thanks for the review! They sound wonderful.
These look sweet :)
Sounds like a wonderful series. Thanks for sharing about them. Both covers are nice.
I bought this book for my daughter last summer and had Kathleen Duey sign it, but we have the old cover. The new one is gorgeous!
