One Dollar Horse

Review by Courtney

I just finished the book 'One Dollar Horse' by the author Lauren St John. 

This book beautifully shows the love between a young but poor girl and a out of control horse. I personally loved this book with all of its emotion and love. The title tells the main point of the story within itself. 

The 'One Dollar Horse' is exactly what it is meant to say that the horse in the book was in fact one dollar and it all came to that when young rider Casey Blue who lives in East London's darkest block with her father Roland Blue who is a criminal. In her spare time she volunteers at the local riding school. But Casey has a dream, a passion and heart for horse riding and wants to compete in the three day event: Badminton horse trails. She finds herself on the back of a wild horse named Storm competing against mean girls and at first not achieving the best of scores but the road to Badminton is long and with distractions like boys, her father and the fear of losing the thing she loves most - her horse it takes what feels like forever. 

This book is an amazing read that will grab you and not let go.
