I wonder if it's more in the nature of a typical MG book conclusion or just a flaw of that book.Alison Can Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17908868606441539344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-82606380898374263252011-12-19T18:21:06.496-06:002011-12-19T18:21:06.496-06:00The only time I read MG books is when I'm with...The only time I read MG books is when I'm with my little cousins. Lately, they have been interested in stories about girls posing as boys. They don't believe it's possible to fool people. LOL<br /><br />I'd bet they like RF.

It also seems like something that my brother would enjoy so I'm going to see if my library has it.A Canadian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127164685941412250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-45277921932796952582011-12-19T09:57:53.546-06:002011-12-19T09:57:53.546-06:00I haven't heard of Charley before either, but ...I haven't heard of Charley before either, but I have to say I would want to be with the horses too:) Love that she's feisty and headstrong and goes after what she wants regardless of the fact that being female posed some roadblocks:)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-13986660365129407202011-12-19T09:12:30.028-06:002011-12-19T09:12:30.028-06:00I love reading Nonfiction about the Depression era...I love reading Nonfiction about the Depression era, and that photograph on the cover looks like it came from a famous collection of dustbowl photos taken then - great recommendation, Rummanah!<br /><br />And I LOVE that cover on Riding Freedom. Sounds like a wonderful book.
