Narrado por: Heather S Auden

From the author of the popular Blaze of Glory series comes the story of an angry boy, a lonely horse, and no possums at all.

Ben’s never been this unhappy. His parents got divorced, and he moved to a small town where he doesn’t fit in. He has no friends. Then, he meets a beautiful but suspicious black horse.

Panther is even more troubled than Ben. And unless Ben can convince Panther to trust people again, the horse’s sorrow may cost him his life.

A Boy and a Horse

This is a wonderful story about a boy named Ben and a horse named Panther (formerly "Mortimer"). Both are struggling to cope with the pain of their respective situations; Ben, for having to move to a new and unfamiliar location after his parents' divorce, and Panther, for being forced to move to a new and unfamiliar location after heartlessly being separated from his mother.

This is a great story: sweet, well-written, suspenseful and containing a positive message. It's a story both kids and adults will enjoy. The narrator does an excellent job-she has a voice that easily communicate emotion, whether anger, sorrow, dread, frustration, etc.

I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review.

Boy and horse help each other

A young person, after a parents divorce, is often adrift in emotional stress, when moved from home, friends and school, that stress is elevated, leading to actions that out of character.
The same could be said of animals, wrenched from their normal environment and security, forced to move to a place they have never experienced, they in turn can behave in a way which is contra to their norm.
So, we have two characters, boy and horse, both displaced and emotionally raw. Can they help each other in their new situations.
I have written this review after listening to the audio rendition of this book. I found the voice impersonation entertaining, as well as it adding depth to a wonderful story.

Touching

As a kid I read every horse book I could find. Awesome Possum would have been among my favorites. It's an excellent mid-grade book.

Sweet short story.

This is such a sweet story! Its prefect for kids to listen to! My grand daughter loved it!

Narration was fine to listen to, I would recommend this to any kid who loves horses.

Wonderful Heartwarming Children's Story

This is a story of boy who has gone through some major life changes with his parents divorce and a move. He starts going to a near-by barn and take some riding lessons. While there he finds a horse who's sad and going through major changes too and if not helped soon could be sold at auction for meat. It's a great discussion point book and explains things in a way a young child can understand. This book was also just a fun read. Since it's a story of a 10 year old boy I'd say it's geared for elementary and Middle School children, although I enjoyed it as an adult as well. The narrator did a fabulous job and was a joy to listen to.
