- I thought Elska was super cute, but this book was just as cute with an element of danger. I loved it!
- These are some very well written intermediate books. I'm so glad Gnome and I found these.
- Katie and Star are so brave, and they just want to do what is right, no matter the cost.
- The message of this book is something we all need.
- Gnome loved that the girl and horse were trying to help another person. I'm really proud of her for understanding and sympathizing with this story.

I read this to my horse-loving daughter, and she enjoyed it quite a bit. I was put off by the whole "white girl rescues poor little black slave girl, who only has like two lines in the whole book" thing. But to be fair, the horse's role is what's really emphasized, as well as the horse's coming of age story.
