Battlecry Forever! (Ashleigh's Thoroughbred Collection)

Rating:
Summary: Childhood Favorite
Review: When I bought this book I was in mere grade school and it didn't have the Thoroughbred heading on it if I remember right. I kind of regret donating it to a library because it was my favorite young adult novel for years. This book even jerked a few tears from me when I was ten years old. It's a cute book, and I think that the storyline is a little more believable than a lot of other campbell books I've laid my hands on. I absolutely loved it and I recommend it to any young girl with a love for horses.
