Summary: Shut up!!
Review: All of you stupid people who are dissin' Melanie should look at this more closely. Melanie is a girl who was bad just to get attention since she got so little at home with her father. As you can see if you really read these books she is trying to clean up her act. I only gave this book 2 stars because I haven't read it yet. I miss Joanna as much or more than the rest of you but I believe that we need to give these books a chance. I really loved the books about Cindy and Max and I want to know exactly how their relationship turned out. I would love it if either Joanna Cambell or Karen Bently came back they were both extremely good writers, well the more I think about it I liked Karen Bently better 'cause she gave the books more feeling and emotion. I actually cried when Cindy and Max fought, that's how good she was. Okay I just wanted to say to stop dissin' Melanie. Good-Bye.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Better than the last few!
Review: I did like this book, and I loved the first books in the series( the ones with Wonder, Pride, Shining, Sierra, and Ashleigh, Samantha, Tor and those guys.) But personally I think the books should go back to RACING! That's why I started reading them. The jumping stuff is okay, but Christina is a little brat! And what ever happened to Cindy?! She was a bit obsessive with being a jockey, but still. I mean, she wasn't even mentioned in Ashleigh's X-mas Miracle, or any of the ones after that. And also- what happened to Mandy? I want to know if she went on to bigger and better things. I wish Joanne would come back to this series, the new writer doesn't even know what the horses' names are. She called Wonder's Pride Townsend Pride in one of the books. I loved the "on the edge of your seat" kind of suspence you got in the books on racing. I'm missing a few of the books in the series, but I'm planning to get them and keep reading. But I feel the books should go back to racing. I hope Melanie does. I will keep reading the books with Cristina in them though, just to keep up with the series. I think Cristina should be second next to Melanie in the future books, at least for a while. In this book I like the way Melanie got in trouble a lot, but still found a way to pull together, since she didn't do anything wrong.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: They are getting a little better....not enough though
Review: I have to agree with everyone, the books are hard to write. I have written 3 short stories, titled- "The Black Colt", "You Killed My Sister, the Devil Shall Kill You", and the third isn't titled yet.

Also, these books do haev some mistakes in them. Like when Princess got hurt and in book #16, page38 and 39, last line on pg 38 and 1st 3 paragraphs on 93 were saying that Ashleigh didn't want to ride another horse in the Derby except for Princess, but Ashleigh was NOT Princess's jockey. There were a lot of mistakes in all of the "new" books, expecially the "newer" ones- like 23 and up.

all in all this book was ok, though very predictialbe. The only charater that I don't like is Christina- but only at times.

hopefully the books will get better. If anyone wants to talk bout them e-mail me at LuvTBracin@aol.com (love thoroughbred racing)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: GREAT!!
Review: I really liked this book. The story line was good and i loved the suspense. I do think it concentrates a little much on the people, not the horses, however, and the racing ones are the BEST. i really reccomend this book, though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: stop putting the series down!!!!
Review: Okay so maybe the books have gone down hill. But still that is no reason to critisize Joanna Campbell last week I looked up Camp Saddlebrook and found a review by Joanna campbell in it she said: 1)she didn't write the book 2)no one consulted her before turning the series to eventing 3)she is angry too 4)In one of the upcomming books the series Melanie will become hooked on racing and Sammanta will come back from Ireland and become Melanies mentor after that the series will alternate 1 book about racing 1 book about eventing. So anyway if people want to stop reading the series then go ahead but hang in there loyal fans Joanna says it will get better and Im going to belive her. As for everyone putting down Melanie stop I agree with the reader from New Mexico she's had a hard time and is trying to mend her ways. I also agree with the reader from Bountiful the series was more exciting when it was about racing but its all in the love of horses. And the person who wonders why we all like Joanna campbell so much and says that the series wasn't good even when she wrote probably isn't truely horse crazy because the series was wonderful before no it's good. so please stop putting it down. THE END
