Sinossi
Casey Blue vive nel quartiere più squallido di Londra, ha quindici anni e fa volontariato in un maneggio frequentato da ragazzi difficili o con problemi. Anche lei sarebbe in difficoltà, in teoria, visto che il padre è stato in prigione e non riesce a trovare lavoro. Questo però non impedisce alla ragazza di coltivare un sogno impossibile: vincere il Badimnton Horse Trials. Peccato che le manchi qualcosa di fondamentale: un cavallo. Così, quando ne trova uno mezzo morto di fame e non ancora compietamente domato, Casey si convince che l'impossibile potrebbe diventare possibile. Purtroppo non ha fatto i conti con la fedina penale di suo padre, né con la distrazione del ragazzo dagli occhi irresistibili del quale si rifiuta di innamorarsi. Età di lettura: da 11 anni.

Przestałam liczyć ile razy już to czytałam. Dalej cudowne🖤
This is a nice horsey book, with a theme of hard work and dedication to a special horse taking a girl from rags to riches. The setting is London's multicultural east districts and rural England. I found it suitable for children rather than young adults, with one-dimensional characters. I would have l Leggi tutto
The One Dollar Horse provides a much needed twenty-first century spin to the horse story. Full of urban edge, and yet never quite losing that fairytale element all good horse stories have, The One Dollar Horse is a book that pony lovers will adore. It's written by the superb Lauren St John (author o Leggi tutto
This book was a blast to the past. It's exceptionally cheesy and very fairytale, but I loved every second of it. As a horse girl who came from a background significantly different than my competitors, I related so strongly to the main character, Casey. I loved the way she handled every challenge thr Leggi tutto
