51. Desert Storm by Logan Forster
I found this book in some of the mom's old books and remember loving it when I read it as a girl. So I decided to give it another go before giving it to my brother whose name in on the front page. It was just as fun to read as I remember: a great story about a boy who rescues an Thoroughbred filly and nurses it back to health so she is able to run in the Santa Anita race. There were a few things that struck me as odd that I would never have noticed when I was young. Both Ponce and Barbara had some very immature moments for fifteen-year-olds; especially when Ponce seems abnormally wise and mature the rest of the time. Still, I enjoyed this walk down memory lane with an old friend and recommend this book to third or fourth graders. Rating: 4
