Illustrations (essentially drawings to accompany the chapter headings) are by Tony Ross, who (like Clare Blading) seems to be everywhere at the moment. It's all part of a well-produced book where there's been a lot of attention to detail. There's a nice touch, which you might like to look out for. The colours in which Noble Warrior races are green and gold, which, coincidentally, are Clare Balding's colours. I'd like to thank the publishers for letting Bookbag have an early proof.
The book will appeal to boys and girls - the leading character might be female but there's enough from the boys and particularly Joe the farmhand to provide the balance. If you're looking for more equine stories for the MG reader then have a look at books by [[:Category:Victoria EverleighEveleigh|Victoria EverleighEveleigh]] whose series will appeal to both boys and girls. Girls, particularly, will love [[Nobody's Horse by Jane Smiley]].
