Resumen del Editor

For fans of Black Beauty and The Black Stallion, ages 10+

Located deep in the Canadian wilderness, Snowfields Academy is the premiere school for equestrians from around the globe. With only a handful of students admitted every year, only riders who have the potential to win world-class tournaments are invited to attend.

Shaman, a stallion new to Snowfields, has proven to be too much for the school. He’s too wild, too dangerous, and too unpredictable for even the most experienced riders on campus.

Unexpectedly, the one person who can calm him is the girl least likely to become a student at Snowfields. Zoe is a world-renowned musical prodigy who is only on campus to support her BFF as she takes the riding test required of prospective students. Zoe doesn’t ride and is more comfortable performing solos in sold out music halls than she is around horses.

But there’s an inexplicable bond between Shaman and Zoe, from the beginning she dreams about the horse and his life before and after he was captured - and abused - by “the predator man.” Within days, she’s run away from home to help Shaman escape and reunite with his herd. It’s a daring rescue mission with twists and turns that Zoe and Shaman aren’t prepared to face.

Will the risks Zoe’s taking ruin her musical career or introduce her to a whole new way of life?

Why no offer more English translations

This is a wonderful easy listening story. Why doesn't Audible plus offer more English translations by this author?

The dreams were sometimes funny because they were so unreal

I did not like the bad language in the book it did not affect the storyline though and it was still a good book

Good story to relax the pace

I came across this one, when looking for something to unwind and relax a little, that it was about horses was definitely a plus, I just love stories like that.

It was a very nice good little story, with a little of drama and lots of fun.

This one is perfect for middlegraders and to relax a little with a story that's not overly dramatic but it has this beautiful lesson about friendship and courage.

love, peace and joy

the story reminded me of that connection I had with Sparkey. At birth, bottle feeding, pure joy for 25 yrs and his head on my lap as he passed

Entertaining and cute

Entertaining and cute. Realistic - most kids don't think through the consequences, but everything turns out alright. I'm an adult who likes good childrens books and movies. I don't like all the violence in adult books. Definitely recommend this.

lovely

I really love horses even though I know nothing about horse riding. I have no idea if what happened in the book is realistic but I enjoyed the story. And I thought that the narrator was wonderful.

Uneven story

Enjoyed the plot, but not the mild profanity. It was not age appropriate, or even particularly fitting with the characters. I also struggled with the main character, a young preteen/teen, referring to adults, such as her parents and a teacher, by their first names. Again, it just didn't fit with the portrayal of the character, so it was rather jarring each time. The main character is a famous flutist, and the performance would have been improved with the addition of some music throughout the story.

Skeptical at 1st....

Was very skeptical at 1st. I was about half way before I decided not to finish it. But then, I came back to it months later, still skeptical. Now I'm glade I finished it! Take a chance, you might be Glade you did!

Great but needs more details

One problem the book doesn’t know anything about horses but great story loved it so much

Not my favorite, but its a good book.

This book is not my favorite but its a good story. My only complaint is that its very interesting. There is so much going on in the book. The girl has a crush on Jake and she also is having nightmares because of a horse and there is a little bit more in it but I'm not trying to spoil the hole story overall its a pretty good book in my opinion.
