Just keeping up with what my 8 year old daughter is reading.
This is a sweet story about a girl, her doll, and a magical horse. They are searching for the girl's mother and a treasure vault. I thought the plot was exciting for a young girl without being too scary. I also like how the girl is encouraged not to be spoiled or too self centered, though the book isn't too heavy handed in this regard. The main character has a few bratty moments but is encouraged to grow past them, hopefully to lasting effect. What little girl wouldn't love this book?
