The Queen's Secret by Jessica Day George
4.0
Such a fun book to read! It brought back all the fond memories of reading other horse books, and I loved the strong female cast.
I enjoyed following the next part of Anthea and Jilly's journey. The horses weren't as central of a component this time around, but still very important to the story, and still critical characters with brief sections from their points of view.
Moms also play an interesting role in the book-- with more than one powerful mom pulling the strings from off-scene. The story centers on Anthea and her friends, and the moms rarely appear on scene or make decisions for the girls, but I liked that they were in the background in these powerful roles. Yay moms!
If you're a fan of horse books or just adventure stories featuring female characters, I definitely recommend this series. I think readers ages 8 to 12 would enjoy it most.
Note: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
