This was such a sweet book! Reminded me of the horse books I would read back in the day. Love the Hispanic rep + Idaho setting; it made my heart so happy! Definitely one I will be recommending to patrons :)

Cute story and awesome for younger readers. My daughter has really loved this series and wished there were more!

(I’m not the target audience so for me it’s 3.5 stars.)
