Why read it?
1 author picked Comet in Summer as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a great summer read. The relationship between young eventer Rio and her project horse is really special and the author does a good job of introducing us to this fun, quirky family, their many pets, and their dilapidated country house. The descriptions of the French countryside and the differences in how horses are cared for in France were really interesting. It is a fun, captivating read.
From Genevieve's list on about horse actually written by horse people.
