I just finished The Georges and the Jewels by Jane Smiley; it was the best book that I’ve ever read. It’s about a girl named Abby who lives on a ranch in California in 1960. The horses they have there are to be sold so her daddy names all the geldings George, all the mares Jewel and tells her not to get attached. Abby is good with all the horses except for one who bucks her off every chance he gets and won’t look her in the eye. With trouble at school the horses will keep her company through her problems. I really enjoyed this book because I love horses and it’s about a girl my age. After reading this book I wanted to have ridden horses as much as her. There is a second book to the series coming in this October called A Good Horse. I am really looking forward to reading that book.
