About this book:

After a particularly scary incident where Andi gets in trouble once again, she saddles up Taffy and runs away from home. But her escape quickly leads to frightening encounters with a horse thief and a vicious young lady. All of which makes Andi realize that there really is no place like home.”

My personal
Rating-
I’m not a big horse fan or a ranch/country
girl, but I did enjoy it. Younger girls who are into those topics might enjoy
it even better.
Since I’ve already read the Circle C Milestones series prior to
reading this beginning series, it was neat for me to see how Andi met Rosa. I
look forward to going back and seeing Andi when she was young and her
adventures. :)
See y’all on Friday with a new
review!
