Every once is a while a great race horse is born that will become famous throughout the land. Buffoon is such a horse. As a foal, he is raw-boned, awkward and ugly. He doesn't look like he's destined for glory, but appearances can be deceptive...
Tessa is no angel. She's wilful, rude and uncooperative. But then she has good reason to be. She and Buffoon share a special bond. A bond that endures through all the ups and downs of this thrilling horses story, told by an award-winning author.
Review -
This is an excellent story that goes beyond the usual horse story. Tessa is a great flawed character who grows in maturity through a sequence of up and down emotional events. It delves deepy into human relationships and strong bonds between humans and animals. It's a book that tells you that chasing your dreams even when no-one else believes or even supports can be worthwhile.
Verdict - 5 out of 5.
