This book has a reading age of eight and an interest age of eight to twelve and you could probably extend this into the early teens. But are early teens and upper tweens going to want to be seen reading the book? Well, there's a 'dyslexia friendly' sticker on the cover which peels off easily and there is then nothing to distinguish this from a book published by a mass-market publisher. The cover is ''stunning'' and the author is well known and respected. What's not to like? I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
With a female protagonist the book is more likely to appeal to girls but boys who could do with a little boost with their reading might enjoy [[How Brave Is That? byAnne by Anne Fine and Vicki Gausden]] which also looks at the subject of bravery. For more about horses - this time a very small one - have a look at [[The Smallest Horse in the World by Jeremy Strong and Scoular Anderson]].
