Why read it?
1 author picked The Blue Roan Child as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
What’s not to love about a fantasy quest novel with horses as true characters, instead of being mere transportation on that quest!? A girl and a mare head off on an epic journey to reunite the mare with her stolen twin foals, and along the way, they encounter a bunch of strange and unusual characters.

From Angela's list on that will make you love horses no matter your age.
