Third Year at Malory Towers

My rating ***

This book is the third book in the series. It was about Darrell who comes back to Malory Towers and meets the new girls. Their names are Bill, Zerelda and Mavis.

The book was exciting, funny and tragic because it had a lot of activities going on. The tragic bit was that Bill's horse Thunder had colic. Bill and Darrell were up really late trying to enable the horse to lie down so that it wouldn't die.

My favourite character was Bill because she was crazily in love with her horse. She never thought about anything else but him.

The Silver Brumby

My rating *** 1/2

This book is about a mare called Belbel and she had a foal called Thowra for the wind. Her best friend also had a foal on the same day called Storm. They had  journeyed away from the herd to have their foals and then had a long journey back with their young foals.

I liked the part where Thowra rescued Golden from the men. Golden is a golden mare who shines in the winter snow.

I really liked this book because of the way it was written. It was written in the way where sometimes it was from the horses' point of view and sometimes from the men's point of view. It was very interesting to read two sides of the same story.

Ronia, the Robber's Daughter

My rating: ****

This book is orginally in Swedish and it has been translated into English. It is a very daring and brave book.
It is about a girl called Ronia and she loves going into the forest. One day she meets a boy called Birk. My favourite part of this book was when the "rumpenisse" started talking to Ronia and kept saying "why?".
I have watched this movie in Swedish, and I really liked reading the book.
