Ashleigh Griffen, an 12 years old girl, is an horse-loving girl (just like me, lol!) Ashleigh and her family, used to live on their own small breeding farm what was called Edgardale, until the virus has swept across her home, killing at least 5 mares and one foal... So that caused her family to put up for the sale, moving to Townsend Acres, where Ashleigh will live from now on. Over there, she met; Charlie Burke (former horse trainer), Linda March (a new friend at her new school, Henry Clay Middle School), Jilly (a exercise rider), and her new enemy, Brad Townsend, son of Clay Townsend whose is a owner of Townsend Acres. During the tour for her new home, she fell in love with one horse which looked just like her favorite mare before she was put up for the sale, Stardust. The one horse that Ashleigh fell in love was Townsend Holly which is expecting foal. And when Holly was expected, a newborn but weak foal, which is filly. Many people thought that this filly will never survive but Ashleigh`s love saved enough to make the filly survive. And then Ashleigh has named her, Wonder because she is full of wonder. If you are horse-loving girl, then this book series would be perfect for ya! I would def recommend this book! Happy Reading!
Thoroughbred #01 A Horse Called Wonder
By Joanna Campbell
Ashleigh Griffen swore she'd never give her heart to another horse -- not after a terrible disease wiped out her family's breeding farm, along with Ashleigh's favorite mare, Stardust.
Now the Griffens are starting over as breeding managers at Townsend Acres, and Ashleigh's sure she is going to hate living there.
Then a small, sickly foal is born -- a beautiful copper filly that looks like Stardust. No one thinks the foal will live or that it's worth trying to save. No one but Ashleigh.
