Burkhart, Kiersi Shy Girl and Shy Guy (Quartz Creek Ranch Book), 233 pages. Darby Creek (Lerner), 2017. $20.
Language: G (o swears); Mature Content: G; Violence: G.
Hanna ends up at Quartz Creek Ranch for six weeks because she is
having trouble with stealing at home. Her parents think the camp will be therapeutic
and helpful to her. But riding horses doesn’t sound like Hanna’s idea of a good
time. Then she meets Shy Guy, a beautiful but wild horse, who was lost and
possibly abused, and no one can tame him because he is afraid of humans. But
gradually Hanna ends up earning Shy Guy’s trust, even helping to bring him home
after he runs away. But when the former owner comes to take him away, Hanna
knows she can’t let that happen.
This book was far and away better than the other book I
reviewed from this series. This story was really truly about a girl and a horse
bonding. The author does a great job creating memorable characters and a pace
of plotline that creates a believable relationship. I think horse fans would
adore this book!
