Reviews

[Makenzi]

I would recommend this book because it was a good book if you like reading about summer camps and horses. I liked this book because it was about horses and summer camp and a counselor that went to this camp with her "friends". They ended up hating her and pick on her, she ended up finding a new friend that shared a fear with her friend. They did a nice job describing the horse and characters.

I like how Tami had started to get used to horse and she made new friends that she can trust.
