Heartland: Taking Chances

Brooke, Lauren. Heartland: Taking Chances. NewYork: Scholastic, 2001. 175 pages. (Fiction Series / Horses)

The book Heartland: Taking Chances is about a girl named Amy. She lives on a horse farm called Fairfield that cures abused and abandoned horses. Her mother died in a car crash and her father abandoned her. The farm ran into some problems with finances and barely got through them. Her sister hired a boy from another horse farm. When he got to Fairfield, he seemed nice but after a few weeks he wasn’t pulling his own weight around the farm, and he was an hour late to work two days in a row. Amy wants to confront him, but she thinks maybe he is still getting use to the new setting.

I selected the book Heartland by going to the library, seeing the book, and looking at it. At first, I didn’t like it, but then I thought it would be a good book to read because I have three horses.
