Dancer

Summary: Dancer is the best book I've ever read! ! ! !
Review: I am eleven years old and love to read books, especially about horses. I agree with the reader from Canada that this is a MUST READ for anyone who loves horses. My friends and I can't wait to read another book by Shelley Peterson, but we can't find any more. My favorite part of the book is when Sandy and Rory discover something very odd at the barnyard and then find out that Dancer is missing. Another suspenseful part is when Chad almost pokes a syringe into Dancer.

Summary: Boring and Unrealistic
Review: I bough this book, because I was boarded, and it was on the bargain table in the bookstore for $3.00. Now I know why the book was only $3.00. The plot and the character in this book seem very unrealistic. I guess it is suppose to be about every girl's dream but it just too much. Not only are parts of the plots hard to believe but sometimes simple actions would never happen, for example at the end of the story Dancer lifts Mousie, the main character, onto his back and they jump over the 5 foot fence from a stand still, and Mousie being such a great rider isn't worried that she is on a galloping horse, bareback, in a nice dress, with nothing resembling a bridle, improper footwear, and no hardhat. The characters were not developed, and became really annoying by the end of the story. The structure, and the development of story were just awful. The book felt like it was written by a 12 year old, not a grown woman who claims to know about horses.

Summary: So Great!
Review: I have read this book many times and never seem to get enough of it! It is a great book about a great horse and hios owner. I kinda feel that sthe author needs to keep it from the young girls point of view because sometimes she takes forever showing it from her mothers. But over, one of the best books ive ever read!

Summary: THIS IS THE BEST BOOK!
Review: I just loved this book so much that I was so sad when I was getting close to the end because I didn't want to finish it. I have read this book five times. My mother read it too, and she finished it in one day. She said that it was like when she read Nancy Drew mysteries when she was little. She just couldn't stop reading. I am hoping that I will get Abby Malone for my birthday (hint, hint!). If you are thinking about reading it, I know you won't be disappointed. Don't pay any attention to the people who said it was boring. It isn't! Anything but! It is totally exciting!

Summary: A good plot, a little to fast-paced.
Review: I thought this book had a good theme, but in some parts it was unrealistic and too fast-paced. For example, I think the situation would be rather uncomfortable if Mousie was to continue dating her step-brother. I think the author should have been more descriptive in certain scenes, and taken more time to elaborate on them. Ie: the Royal Winter Fair, Mousie's first presentation for the queen. The last half of the book was much better then the first, I was dissappointed when I started reading. Over all, it was a fairly good book, with a happy ending, but I suggest you borrow it from the library rather then buy it.

Summary: Great Job Shelley!
Review: I was very pleased to recieve an autographed copy of this wonderful novel for my birthday last year. I am now 19 and it has been passed around to friends young and old all of whome really enjoy horses. Shelley you have done a wonderful job in cathing the "Mousie" in us all. I have reasently sold my "dreamer" but he will alsway live on in my heart along with the real Dreamer and Mousie. Thank You for writting such a wonderful novel. I hope that I get the chance to tell you this some time. Keep up the great work!

Summary: Great book
Review: My daughter Shana really enjoyed this book, not just because it was a great story about a horse, but because she knows Jennifer Foster who is on the front cover. She had the pleasure of babysitting Jennifer's son Charlie, and daughter Brin when Jennifer was showing at the Bromont International Horse Show. Shana has also purchased Shelley's second book, Abby Malone, and she enjoyed it as well. Shelley is a great writer, and I'd just like to say keep up the good work.

Summary: Every girl will love this book.
Review: This book is wonderful. I have read it eight times and my mother wants me to read a different book, but I just want to keep reading this one over and over again. I think that every girl my age (11 and a half) would love this book. Even my big sister loves it, but she's only read it three times. I love the horses and the story and the people in the book. I wish I could meet Mousie, and talk to her about horses and the Queen.
