Heartland Series by Lauren Brooke



Brooke, Lauren. (1999). Coming Home. In Heartland Series: No. 1.  London.  Scholastic Children's Books.

The Heartland series is comprised of twenty six titles all about Amy and her family on their ranch Heartland.

Healing horses, healing hearts.

The daughter of a respected horse healer, or 'whisperer', 14 year-old Amy has a powerful connection with horses. With her mother's help, she is developing her skills as a horse whisperer while tending to the animals at Heartland, a refuge for horses that have been emotionally or physically traumatized. But when her mother is killed in a tragic trailer accident, Amy realizes she will never see her world the same way again.  This series is fantastic as it allows you to really understand the day to day workings of a real ranch and helps to show the importance of a good horse/human relationship.  If you've only just discovered horses or you're a long time fan this series is a great introduction into the equine world.  A must for all animal lovers.

For ages 9-14.  Reserve series here...
