Product Description
Review
`The story has everything in it but the kitchen sink. Besides the thrills of competitions, criminals and the extraordinary horse, there's a haunted riding whip, the benevolent ghost of Hilary's dead father, teenage romance, divorce, an alcoholic ex-wife and parental romance. As I read I kept shaking my head over the naive melodrama of it all, but I also kept reading, right to the end. This book is as ingenuous as the early Nancy Drew mysteries but, like them, it's also a real page turner.'
(Resource Links )`Peterson's prose becomes self-assured in equine action scenes: the fox hunt is excitingly described and jumping events benefit from her insider's eye for detail. It is Dancer itself, strong, proud, feisty and determined, that is by far the book's most interesting character, which, of course, is the highest recommendation it can have.'
(Toronto Star )`The writer discusses a wide variety of emotional issues: adults rekindling an old flame and falling in love, the first relationships of teenagers, emotions of both adults and youth surrounding the death of a parent and loved one, to facing down issues of abuse and alcoholism. ... Peterson's rich and vivid characters and her amazingly perceptive understandings of human emotions give Dancer the extra sparkle and magic it needs to stand out above most of the rest.'
`Any lover of horses is bound to enjoy this book; others will enjoy it as well...'

An Adventrous book for all!!,
By Equineluver (Winnipeg, MB Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dancer (Paperback)
Danser was one of my favourite books of all time! It really focused on one determined girl and her horse. Shelley Peterson really put her heart into this book when she wrote Dancer because her choice of words are unbelievable. They way she puts suspence, excitment and breath-taking events into one paragraph is incredible. This book makes your heart pound and makes your eyes cry. It can be an emotional but exciting book at times. I reccomend this book to all people, it is truly a one of a kind book!!

So Great!,

This review is from: Dancer (Paperback)
I have read this book many times and never seem to get enough of it! It is a great book about a great horse and hios owner. I kinda feel that sthe author needs to keep it from the young girls point of view because sometimes she takes forever showing it from her mothers. But over, one of the best books ive ever read!
