Hi readers! Long time no see! Today I am reviewing one of Stacy Gregg's newer books, The Diamond Horse.
The main characters
Anna Orlov, Count Orlov (Anna's father), Ivan Orlov (Anna's mean brother), Countess Orlov (Anna's mother), Katia(The head maid) and Valentina (A circus performer).
The story line
Anna Orlov lives in a beautiful palace, home to many wonderful and exotic animals like tigers, bears and timber wolves. It is also home her cruel older brother, Ivan. When Anna doesn't do what her father wishes, after her mother dies, she has no idea of the dangers ahead.
Valentina is a circus performer with a pink horse and very big dreams. As she runs away to a dressage school she discovers another world of amazing horse riding.
What I think of the book
I loved this book and couldn't put it down until I had read the whole thing! It has a great story line and a brilliant variety of characters with many different personalities. I also liked that it is inspired by real life stories. Stacy Gregg's books have always been some of my favorites and I love reading them.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 as it is quite long and is a gripping read.
I would recommend this book to girls around 9 up as it is an amazing book and as I said, I couldn't put it down!
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!
