[.ca] Heartland #8: Thicker Than Water (ISBN 0439317150)

Titles....:
The Heartland stories are good, but the titles are very weird. I mean, "Thicker than Water?" What does that have to do with horses? "One day You'll Know?" "Breaking Free?" "Love is A Gift?" No offense or anything, but these titles should change or something.

THIS IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:
Put this on your wish list right now. Heartland just gets better and better!!!!!!!!

Horses are the best:
Could you imagine getting frightened and abused horses to trust again? If you enjoy horses than Heartland Thicker Than Water is a book for you. It's a kind of novel that you never want to put down. This book is about a girl named, Amy, a 15 year old horse trainer who tries to get frightened, and abused horses to trust again. She is a very kind, concerned, yet confused person. She and her family live on a horse farm in the hills of Virginia. There are a lot of conflicts in this novel, but the most important one is that Amy's dad, Tim, whom she hasn't seen in 12 years, is coming to Heartland. She feels that he should just stay out of her life, because she is still angry at him when he abandoned her and her family. Her sister Lou feels totally different. She feels that Amy and she need to give him a chance. I found this novel wonderful, and amazing. I liked it so much because I feel that Lauren Brooke did an awesome job of describing the way the characters were thinking, it was almost as though I was in their heads. I also enjoyed it because it had so much suspense that I couldn't wait to turn the page. You could almost see Amy's mind and heart fighting between loving and hating her dad.

He's coming back:
This is a brilliant book and it is one of my personal favourites. In it Amy and Lou's father comes to Heartland, it is really good as Lou and Amy's idea's of thier father completely change. Tim affects them both greatly and makes Lou rethink her idea of horses. I'd recommend it to anyone.

A great book:
This book was very good. I was surprised that Amy (Main character) and Lou's (Amys sister) father left them. I was very happy at the end when all of the problems are solved. Their is actually a good ending to this book. There were some surprises that I never guessed would happen so it is not that predictable. I loved this book, and if you like it too I suggest that you read Terri farleys books. So get reading and have fun.
