PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Carnegie Medal-winning children's author and co-director of Storybox Theatre, a theatrical company aimed primarily at children.
I like that the horse is given its own voice. This helps the reader to understand its feelings. I would recommend this book for anyone who loves animals and nature. People who like exciting adventure stories too would also enjoy it as it is a real page-turner. I found myself sinking into it and wanting to read on to find out what happens to Ash and the horse on their journey. * Books Up North * Landman is a natural storyteller, always engrossing, and this tale, which sees boy and beast grow side by side, is a happy addition to the shelf of child-animal friendship stories. * The Times * This is an excellent adventure - perfect for lovers of ?Michelle Paver's Wolf Brother for 8+. Crisp writing, sympathetic characters and great love between hero + horse in Stone Age times. -- Amanda Craig
