Synopses & Reviews
If Dauphin, a pampered Shetland pony, seems to lead the perfect life in the penthouse suite of the citys posh riding stables, its because he does. And if he seems a bit too self-satisfied—after all, hes won several trophies for his young owner, Isabella, and is widely acknowledged to be the prettiest pony in the city—its because he is.
Dauphin leads a rich, comfortable life. But all that changes when his relationship with his owner takes a decided turn for the worse. Hes suddenly sent away to a farm in the middle of nowhere, which is filled with the most unusual animals. And where, against all odds, he discovers the true meaning of home and family.
Review
Praise for Annie Wedekind's Wild Blue:
“Horse fans and animal lovers will embrace this book with unbridled enthusiasm. It deserves a place next to Marguerite Henry or even Jack London on young readers bookshelves.”—School Library Journal
Praise for Annie Wedekinds A Horse of Her Own:
“Sensitive, sophisticated and lyrically written, Wedekinds debut portrays the typical teen struggle for self-awareness in an anything-but-typical fashion. Possibly the most honest horse book since National Velvet, from an equestrian point-of-view, this offerings riding scenes combine accuracy with seat-of-the-pants excitement. A champion.”—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
Synopsis
