Description Concering Books True Blue (Horses of Oak Valley Ranch #3)

True Blue is a beauty, a dappled gray, and when Abby gets to take him to her family's ranch, she can hardly believe her luck. The horse needs a home: his owner—a woman brand new to the riding stable--was tragically killed in a car crash and no one has claimed him. Daddy is wary, as always. But Abby is smitten. True Blue is a sweetheart, and whenever Abby calls out, "Blue, Blue, how are you?" he  whinnies back.

But sometimes True Blue seems...spooked. He paces, and always seems to be looking for something. Or someone. Abby starts to wonder about True Blue's owner. What was she like? What did she look like? One moonlit night, Abby could swear she hears a whisper in her ear: "He's still my horse." Filled with riding scenes and horse details, this newest middle-grade novel from a Pulitzer Prize-winner offers a mysterious and suspenseful almost-ghost story.

Notice Regarding Books True Blue (Horses of Oak Valley Ranch #3)

Jane Smiley suggested to her audience at the Perth Writers Festival last month (February 2017) that we look at her horse novels as well as the current trilogy. I have taken up this and read True Blue, titled Mystery Horse in my Australian edition. My attention was easily held by the pace of True Blue, which covers a short time in the life of 13 year old Abby. The novel covered areas I was familiar with from my Midwestern church upbringing before moving to Australia and an area I know nothing

True blue is about a horse named blue who the Lovitts bought for their daughter Abby. The horse's owner had passed away in a car accident.Blue is nervous and paces a lot and he won't stop. After awhile Abby starts seeing a figure everywhere Blue is . What she doesn't know is that the figure is blue's owner. After awhile she puts the pieces together and tries to figure out why the owner is here. The them is what you don't know can or can't hurt depending on what you do with it. In the story Abby

I think you have be relatively crazy about horses to read this book and love every second of it.My friend Lorie, who is horse-crazed, said it was very realistic as far as the horses go. The ghost story that made up the main plot was a little too hokey to be appealing to me, but the tensions between family members seemed very real.

Abby Lovitts family lives on a California ranch in the 1960s. When a friend who runs a stable ends up with the horse belonging to a woman killed in a car accident, she offers the horse and its fittings to Abby, who gladly takes them. True Blue is a good horse, and well-trained, though apt to spook. The horse is a good addition to the familys stables, and Abby gives lessons and goes to school, but is plagued by the ghost of the dead owner. Abby imagines seeing this ghost all over the farm. Abby

First of all, and as a note to UK readers -- this book has been published as "Mystery Horse" in England. Occasionally, it does make sense (because of language differences) to publish under different titles, but in this case it is rather a mystery -- and nothing to do with horses. And I would further add that I prefer "True Blue" as a title.This book is the third in a series about a young teenage girl called Abby. She lives on a horse ranch in California during the 1960s, but except for the food

I thought the book was not as good as the first and second books that she written. this had less about the horses that she was working with or about blue. I thought she could of went in more detail of the horse Blue. I thought overall the book was ok.

I never was a horse crazy kid, but even as a horse-neutral adult, I loved learning about the horsey world in Jane Smileys book, TRUE BLUE. She not only gives her protagonist, young Abby, problems to solve as she lives and works on her parents horse farm, but Smiley brings to life the horses and their personalities. One example:{The horses}were like kids in a classroom. Jack and Foxy and Happy were the ones in the front row who always raised their hands. Jefferson and Lincoln didnt even realize
