I'm Helen Hemphill's publicist for this book and I saw your question, Natasha Ann Hubbard. Helen didn't run across the answer to your question in her 3 years of research, but she's going to check with some experts and try to find the answer for you. We'll post back here if we get it. Thanks! Julie Hi both Natashas!

I’m Helen Hemphill’s publicist for this book and I saw your question, Natasha Ann Hubbard. Helen didn’t run across the answer to your question in her 3 years of research, but she’s going to check with some experts and try to find the answer for you. We’ll post back here if we get it.

My initial Google search yielded nothing. But here's hoping. Natasha – Well, from one Natasha to another I’ll try my best to see if I can come up with an answer.

There was a character in a horse fiction book for children I read as a child had to be the mid to late 80's to early 90's. I dont recall the name of the book or even the auther but I do recall the lead character was the Named Natasha Ann Jones and nick named Nat. She had a friend and they both rode horses and Nat was the fun one and the other girl was a little more simple. Thats all I can recall. Has anyone any knowledge of the book? I would love to own it for the simple irony in nameing convention and read it again for the memory.

I think my 8yo would like it a lot and my 2yo would be after it for the cover picture- he loves horses. At the library he will pull out stacks of books with anything horse-ish on the cover or even a little tiny horse on the spine. Unfortunately, most of the books he finds are paperbacks for 3rd+ grade readers. So, we check them out if they have more than just a cover illustration and he loves to hunt for the horses inside.

Amber G. - You're in! Karina - I believe the book says, it's targeted at 9-12 year olds. Perfect for the ten year old. I think the 15 year old would enjoy it. It's not a "baby-ish" book by any means. Hmm . . . five year old. Probably wouldn't have the attention span for it, although there is nothing bad in it. Amy BTW M - Two entries for you! Jenn M. – I’m still hoping that you win!

I think it might be a bit much for my 5 yo, though. And would it be too young for my 15 yo? I KNOW the 10yo would love it. I hope the 13yo would read it. (In my home, he's the reluctant reader. He only reads two or three books a month.) I have at least 2 or 3 sons who would enjoy this book. I think it might be a bit much for my 5 yo, though. And would it be too young for my 15 yo?

So even if I don't win, We can still check it out. I'm so sick of Bionicle....but hey, if he's reading it, then it's doing something right?
