Mallory And The Dream Horse (1992) - Plot & Excerpts
My 13-year-old self actually wrote a letter to Ann M. Martin about this book. I was so irritated with Mallory. Who falls off a horse and (barring serious injury) does not get back on? That is the first lesson you learn in horseback riding. You have to get back on the horse. Instead, Mallory spends the rest of the book whining about how scared she is of horses unless she gets to ride her special pony Pax. I was so disappointed, especially after reading 53 or so books worth of Mallory begging her parents for riding lessons.Ann M. Martin did actually write me a personal letter back, which was pretty cool.
Fantastic books for young girls getting into reading!! Great stories about friendship and life lessons. The characters deal with all sorts of situations and often find responsible solutions to problems.I loved this series growing up and wanted to start my own babysitting business with friends. Great lessons in entrepreneurship for tweens.The books may be dated with out references to modern technology but the story stands and lessons are still relevant.Awesome books that girls will love! And the series grows with them! Terrific Author!
