kidlit :: Dream Riders: Storm :: Laura Bloom and Jesse Blackadder
It’s no secret here that I love a pony book, and I think this series is particularly lovely. I love that first and foremost there is a focus on the relationships between the teens and their horses, and that the relationships between the people are about friendship, not romance.
One of the things I really liked about Storm’s story was that it deals not only with fitting in with your peers when you’re a bit different, but also what happens when you have opinions that are different from the rest of your family, maybe for the first time. I thought Storm’s growing a bit apart from her family and wanting to experience more of the outside world that her parents were comfortable with was dealt with really nicely.
I’m looking forward to seeing what happens to the gang in the next book (which I think will be from Kai’s perspective).
Definitely one to pick up if you’re a pony book fan, especially if you enjoyed Frankie’s book!
