Chronicle During Books A Good Horse (Horses of Oak Valley Ranch #2)

When eighth grader Abby Lovitt looks out at those pure-gold rolling hills, she knows there’s no place she’d rather be than her family’s ranch—even with all the hard work of tending to nine horses. But some chores are no work at all, like grooming young Jack. At eight months, his rough foal coat has shed out, leaving a smooth, rich silk, like chocolate. As for Black George, such a good horse, it turns out he’s a natural jumper. When he and Abby clear four feet easy as pie, heads start to turn at the ring—buyers’ heads—and Abby knows Daddy won’t turn down a good offer.

Then a letter arrives from a private investigator, and suddenly Abby stands to lose not one horse but two. The letter states that Jack’s mare may have been sold to the Lovitts as stolen goods. A mystery unfolds, more surprising than Abby could ever expect. Will she lose her beloved Jack to his rightful owners?

Pulitzer Prize winner Jane Smiley raises horses of her own, and her affection and expertise shine through in this inviting horse novel for young readers, set in 1960s California horse country and featuring characters from The Georges and the Jewels.

Comment On Regarding Books A Good Horse (Horses of Oak Valley Ranch #2)

The book is about a girl named Abby. She owns a ranch and lives with her mom and dad. She has a jumping horse named Black Gorge which she jumps on. Her father has been getting mail from someone who is trying to find a missing horse. He thinks one of the horses they bought is that horse. A connection I have with the character is that we both love horses. Abby reminds me of one of my friends because she tries to get her school work done right away. I have had an experience of when i forgot where

I loved this book because it continued the story of Abby's life with school, friends, family, the ranch, customers and most importantly the horses.

2019 - Bk 24. Young Adult Book: The second of the Abby Lovitt series. For a middle school or upper elementary age student who loves horses, with a little bit of mystery thrown in, this is a good series. Abby is an 8th grader in this book. She has overcome bullying (book 1) and is growing into a better sense of herself as a separate individual from her parents and friends. Her father is a horse trainer/trader and an elder in their fundamentalist church (and I use that term as it was in the 1960's

Overall it was a good book ,I like this book because it takes about horse

Abby has to deal with the possibility of two favorite horses leaving the farm: Black George, who Abby is discovering could become a high-level show jumper; and Jack, her beloved colt. Turns out Jack's dam may have been stolen and sold to Abby's father. I felt like this story moved very slowly. There's a lot of detail about things like the courses Abby has to jump in shows that were boring. The religion of Abby's family seems like a strange sticking point for me; it isn't a major point in the

I actually did not finish this book and it was not good

LOVED THIS!
