Summary: Summer Camp Fun
Review: Camp Saddlebrook, by Joanna Cambell, is about Christina Resse and her horse, Sterling's Dream. She is very excited but a girl called Eliza dosn't like her and she has no idea why.
I really liked this book and think that Joanna Cambell writes this whole series well and own some myself.
Once your in 3rd or 4th grade it will probly br easy enough to read and understand. I hope you like it as much as I did.

Summary: Camp Saddlebrook (Thoroughbred)
Review: I absolutly loved this book! I have read it probably 20 times or more. I love all the Thoroughbred books, but this one is the best by far! I love the way it seems to have more freedom to the other books, and more imagineation. It lets you think more about what it would be like for you to be in the story. It is also much of an improvment to Cindy. She was probably the most selfish evil person I have ever heard of in a book. In real life I have seen worse but thats not the point. You can really relate to all the characters in this book. But it does need at least one more person trying to get Christina and Dylan together! I hate how Dylan and Katie dissapear in the upcoming books. We really don't need another Townsend (Parker) in the story! Off the subject again. Well, anyways this is the best book in the entire world and every person should read it! The horses are wonderful too not just because there are so many of them (but thats good too) but also because of how much they vary from the ones at Whitebrook. At Whitebrook, they always have those chestnut and bay "wonders, one horse in a million." It was good to see more variety. You also see many more characters. All in all, I cannot say this enough, this is the best book in the entire world!

Summary: Where did racing go?
Review: I have already reviewed this book, but I'd like again & point out a few things. first of all, Joanna did not write this book! though it was a sort of good book, Joanna's are far better. second, I'm sick of jumping. these books are racing books & thats why i love them and so many others do. I'm glad that racing is slowly coming back, but so should the horses & characters. I have read almost everybook & know the old characters as if they were real. Just please, writers, bring back racing, Glory, Cindy, Sierra, Samantha, Tor, Mandy, Wonder, and so many others.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Much better!
Review: I really enjoy reading all of the Thoroughbred books. I have bought every one and read them over, and over again. I AM ADDICATED to these books! The change from racing to eventing has been a good one for me, since I am a hunter/jumper rider myself. Camp Saddlebrook was a great book and I never got the inpression that Christina was snobby... I thought Eliza was the brat! I love the ONFF about this book that keeps you reading! I recommend this book highly!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Pretty good book
Review: I wish (like many others) that Joanna would continue writing the books. I've looked ahead in the series and she has about 5 different writers she's trying out! . I also wish that they'd ad more feeling to the books. Like the earlier ones (before christina was born) were very hard to put down and they really gave you an idea of what was happening. I like some of the female writers but I wish Joanna would write them. What's up with that anyways? I never figured out why. I mean if she creates them then hey why not write em' ? Well hope this has been helpful!

Summary: I LOVE THIS BOOK
Review: it is very refreshing to have the thoroughbred series explore different styles of riding. Being an eventer I found the story to be right on track with all its information. In regards to an earlier review, you can't bring back all the old charactors and horses because THEY GROW UP and since horses don't live as long as humans most of the origional ones would be dead by now. And also, Joanna Cambell doesn't even write this books anymore and you probably haven't ever read one she actually wrote (hence the term CREATOR by her name and not AUTHOR). Dale Gasque is a fine author and helped breathe some life into a series that had been in a rut. I totally recomend this book (and other ones written by Dale Gasque as well as Alice Leonhardt) to anyone who enjoys a good horse book

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: okay
Review: oh, this book makes me long for horses. every horse series in the world has no officially had the horse summer camp book, but it was entertaining to read about chris and mel's adventures. every time chris gets taken down a notch, i'm happy too.

it's a shame the series will be ending soon. i'd love to see it continue.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: These books need some help!
Review: Ok, first of all, I think Joanna needs to write more for these books! without her they seem to be falling apart. But I'm not about to start saying a bunch of crap and overly exagerated stuff about the writers because its like this, if you don't like the books, don't read them. I have read all the books and yes I'll agree that there getting worse. but they do have some good parts and I too am glad that cindy is out of the story. What I really want to say is that the storys and the series is not that believable because I don't know that many different people that can succeed in what they want to do. It seems that everyone is perfect and never fails. Another thing, all horses in this book are wonderhorses and can do almost anything! Sterling will jump 5 foot trees and make Christina believe she "wanted to do it" and "its in her heart!" Don't think so! I have a quarter horse and have written plenty of horse who have many faults and may never be anything spectacuar, mine especally!:) Ok, its one thing for some of there horses to be winners but not the all of them or the majority! Horses have faults too! I must say though that the series was much better and I still love reading the first book, "A horse called wonder" that was a great book! Joanna we need you back to bring this series great qualities back!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: IT WAS OKAY BUT NOT A THOUGHOBRED BOOK AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Okay I have been reading these books since the first one, I mean all the ones in the series and the super specials,everything but I have never read any thing like this before. It was BAD!! I want to know what happent to all the racing. I loved Joanna's writing and liked Karen Bently's But this is bad!! What happened to Ashleigh, Mike, Cindy, Sammantha, Tor, Max, Ashleigh's baby, Sammantha's baby, Will, Len, And all the horses. This is about JUMPING not RACING like it was orriginally. I have nothing against jumping, I mean I love it and I do it myslf, but I want to be a jockey. Reading the Thourghbred books taught ne somthing about it. Joanna I am BEGGING you to please come back to writing the books again!!! Joanna you are going to loose customers if you do not start writing the books again!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!HELP!!!!!HELP!!!!HELP!!!
