Sundancer~ by Shelly Peterson

This book is about girl who decided to be a selective mute. She live on a farm and love animals. One of the things she can do (her secret talent) is that she can communicate with animals through her mind.

When a new "wild" horse comes to the farm, it is more of a last resort type of thing. REnamed Sundancer because the "way the sun dances across his gleaming coat", the girl connects to this horse and goes through a lot to protect him.

Against greedy horsemen, a dog, horse, and a magnificent girl go through a lot to protect their little group.

The Blue Shoe

This book is fabulously written, and captures the reader just by the book jacket!

A young apprentice and his master are visited by a strange man, requesting a strange shoe. After completing the shoe though, the man never returns. Finally the shoe is put on display for the town, and that is where trouble starts. A greedy mayor and his wife soon find out about the shoe, and how their pristine town, isn't so pristine.

Sent to a mountain for a crime against the mayor's wife, the apprentice learns there is greater cruelty there than at home, but he also discovers he has more friends, family, and enemies than he could imagine.

Fighting for what is right this apprentice turns his little world big, and his new big world upside down.

This is a MUST READ.

The Wedding Planner's Daughter

This book by Coleen Paratore is funny, sweet and full of adventures. As you read you find it hard to put the book down!!

Willa is a girl who lives with her mom who is a wedding planner. When a new neighbor moves in next door and starts to "revive" the old place, one of the first things he does is puts daily quotes or poems up n a board outside his house. (Did I mention his house is bigger than normal? Read the book to find out why!) This message board attracts Willa's interest, and soon she is in a tangle of adventure.

To find out more you will just HAVE to read the book!!

This book was truly AMAZING!!! Gracepearl is an enchanting character that leads you through the book from her point of view. She is full of spirit and has huge dreams. When the "PITs" (Princes In Training) arrive at her home island like they do every year, Gracepearl discovers something out of the ordinary, an extra ship.
