Wild Thing (Winnie the Horse Gentler Series #1), Vol. 1
Tonight, I have finished the Winnie the Horse Gentler series, by Dandi Daley Mackall. It's a kids' series, comprised of 8 books, set in Ashland, Ohio, USA.
I have a couple of bones to pick with this series:
1. It treats God as though He's a magician who'll grant you whatever you wish for, so long as you pray for it. Winnie, the main character, would often pray for stuff (like confidence), which she would get almost immediately after.
I know for a fact that that's not how God works.
2. It "angelises" Autism, and other neurological disabilities. Sure, the one disabled character has his bad moments, but it reads more like he was being cute...and it keeps describing his "angel blond hair". *sigh*
However, despite those flaws, I rather enjoyed it, mostly because the second book in the series (Eager Star) was a great comfort to me when I was younger (I only got the rest of the series last year).
I love the intense horsiness - it's more about horses than the Saddle Club or Pony Pals series - they seemed to be more about the girls' friendships.
I loved it, even though some bits of it annoyed me. Recommended to any young horse lovers out there.
