The best book that ever made me cry: If you even relately like horses then you will like this book. Its about a courages and stubborn girl who refuses to give up on a beutiful horse named battlecry. She knows somewhere in the horse is a true champion. He will be to. What she doesnt know is that she could be risking battlecrys life by entering him in a race. Will she give him a break before its to late??? I urge U to buy this book. I know U want to know what happens.
What a great book!: This books is wonderful! It is rather sad, but it makes you want to keep reading. It's a great kids book! All of Joanna Campbell's books are great!:-)
One of the Best Horse Books: This is one of the best horse stories ever written. Leslie's devotion to Battlecry, and the fact that it takes more than love in her horse, namely hard work, is a lesson to anyone about what one can accomplish if you work hard enough and believe strong enough. Though the book is a tear jerker and will leave you bawling in the end it is still one of the best horse books out there and I highly recommend it to any horse crazy kid I know. I have saved my original copy (from twelve years ago) and plan to pass it down to my own daughter.
Excellent!: This book was excellent. Lesile D'Andrea is at horse auction when she sees a neglected racehorse, Battlecry. She trains him back into racing, after begging her father to give him a chance. He runs several races throughout the summer and wins most of them. This is the first time he has won races. It was so sad that he died after winning the Breeder's Cup Classic. I almost cried and felt really bad for Lesile. Definitely read this book!
