Description

Wonder Star has recovered from his illness and Christina takes the colt to a ranch in Montana to rehabilitate. This series was created by Joanna Campbell. Book #45.

Quick Summary

If your kid loves horses and animal stories, this is a solid pick it's all about Christina nursing her thoroughbred colt Wonder Star back to health after a serious illness, and the journey they take together to a ranch in Montana where the real rehabilitation work begins. There's something really satisfying about watching their bond develop as the horse regains strength, and the Montana setting gives it that classic horse-story feel with wide open spaces and the hard work of ranch life. It's book #45 in the Thoroughbred series, so if your reader is new to it, they might want to start from the beginning, but this one works as a standalone too. The emotional moments feel genuine without being overly heavy, making it a good fit for kids who enjoy heartfelt stories with some adventure mixed in. Fans of other horse series like the Saddle Club will likely appreciate this one too.
