The Heartland books are a fun read, and they’re pretty quick to get through for me. You get your horses and your heartache from Heartland. These books are pretty steady, all continuing the story of Amy, Lou, Ty, Jack and the assorted horses.
The writing and subject matter are obviously intended for children, and can be a bit clunky at times for individuals with a higher reading level.
Since there isn't a lot to say, this review is similar to past reviews of this series. I recommend this series to kids who love horses, or parents who want there children to read something that's about hard work and some of life's tough lessons.

Reading these back to back really makes the mistakes stand out. In this one, the author has a horse who was female in the previous book, a male. While that was really annoying every time that horse was mentioned, the reason I didn't love this one was that the author tried to do too much. I think both plots were really interesting, but I think it would have worked better if split into two books. With the illness, the strain between Ty and Ben, the situation with Daniel, then the storm and the aftermath, nothing really felt all that impactful as it quickly moved from one thing to another.

I read this book as a tween when it first came out, and it is what sparked the theme of my writing today. Best one of the series, hands down.

WHO KEEPS LETTING ME TAKE THESE BOOKS ON PUBLIC TRANSPORT?
Seriously, third time a book from this series has made me cry on a train this week.

3.5 Stars - This one was really quite emotional and a great example of what this series is really all about; a serious love of horses and connecting with people! Everything seems to go wrong in this book and I now have to pick up the next one in the series right away because not everything got wrapped up in a tidy bow like the other books!
