Summary: Mongolian Dictionary, please?
Review: This book was annoying. It had alot of Mongolian words that weren't in the mongolian glossary. Some times there were some crutial parts that all of a sudden had a word that wasn't in the back, or that was in the back but didn't make sense were it was put. I reccomend this book if you can speak fluent mongolian.

Summary: I Rode A Horse of Milk White Jade.
Review: This is a extremly good book. I recommend it to people who have studied a little about China. I would give this book 4 stars and a half. I think all of this because the terms they use are a little confusing & it has a very independent look upon the girl. You should read it because it is full of enjoyable surprises.

Summary: White Horses Everywhere!An enchanting adventure
Review: This is a great book. It's about a girl who had her foot stepped on by a horse, and everyone in her village thinks it is bad luck. But her fortune-teller Grandmother Echenkorlo thinks it is good luck, and that Oyuna(for that is the girl's name) would find a valley of ten thousand white mares to the far south, and she could win The Great Race to bring luck to her family. Enchanting!

Summary: ...here is my reveiw! ...
Review: This is a story about a girl, Oyuna, who was looked upon as a carrier of bad luck. When she is a young girl her foot got stepped on by a horse and it crushed it, causing her to become a cripple. So she was forced to work inside her ger, but she constantly escaped to be free with the horses of their clan. Oyuna is a strong-willed girl who goes on an adventure with a horse and a cat. The horse is lame, but she felt that she had to buy her because the horse "talked" to her. The cat she named Bator, meaning hero, and he goes everywhere with her. On the adventure she goes looking for luck and a swift horse. She ends up finding she can make her own luck and much more. Diane Lee Wilson writes this book very well. She is discriptive, but does not get hung up on the little details. In this book something is always happening, though some parts are a little slow. The ending, even though predictable, has a surprising twist which is both sad and happy. It is a great story, but I would have enjoyed it more if I was a horse person.

Summary: A lovely story of courage and determination.
Review: This is a story within a story; Oyuna tells her life story to her granddaughter as they wait for the birth of a new foal. Oyuna was crippled shortly after her birth, when a horse stepped on her foot as she lay in the grass. Unable to walk well, she learned that horses gave her freedom of movement, and she learned to regard her disability as an indication that she was fated to be a great horsewoman. She grew up knowing the pain and shame of her difference from others. Not only was she a girl in a time and place where girls had little value, but she was a cripple, too. But having greater limitations than others drove her to even greater determination to attain her dreams. And this is the lesson that she passes on to her granddaughter. Oyuna followed her heart, buying an old mare despite her age and a lame leg because of the bond between them. And her strong bond with her horse, and her cat as well, became the greatest forces that shaped her life. The superstitions of her simple society permeate Oyuna's narrative, and it may require a bright and skillful reader to separate the real from the superstition in the tale. But for that reader, this is an enchanting and gripping story.

Summary: Good for ages 12-20
Review: This is an enchanting book of a strong female heroine who loves horses. It is one of those books that has 3D characters who you really want to succeed. I would recommend this book to young women who have or dream of owning their own horse regardless of the training and work that must go into owning one. The ancient time period was a nice bonus because it made the story different fromt the typical "girl finds run-down horse at local auction" story that I'm sure we've all seen.
