Dear Readers: I don't usually post e-mails, but I have the "OK" on this one, and well, I'm blushing! Debbie Dehn is a prominent horse 4-H leader who has improved many youngsters' horseback riding experience and touched many lives in her teaching career. Thank you, Debbie!

  

Dear Karin,

  

Just wanted you to know how much I thoroughly enjoyed your book.  What a great story.  It brought back many fond memories of my children's 4-H days.  I have recommended it to my current 4-Hers and am purchasing copies for my daughter and sisters, all of whom are teachers, for their schools. 

 

I saw on your website that there may be a chance for Accelerated Reader tests.  I'm going to talk to one of my sisters who is a school librarian (media specialist) in NJ.  She uses that program.

 

-- Debbie Dehn, 4-H leader, former teacher
