Praise for "A Horse Called Hero"

"Reunited with the horse in an emotional--albeit highly improbable--conclusion, the happy ending will please horse lovers who want historical novels with realism but not too much grit. Buy for collections where historical novels are popular, especially with boys." --Suanne Roush, "VOYA"

"A horse named Hero inspires his young owner to heroics in this suspenseful coming-of-age novel.... Adventure, a horse, faithfulness and truth--an arresting combination." --"Kirkus
