Book Review: A Chilling and Tragic Tale of Friendship
Summary: 5 Stars
***The following is from the Scholastic 1980 version of the book; I DID NOT write it****
"Come on, Candy," says Gail, leading her horse, Candlelight. "Let's go exploring."
Gail's parents have just rented a carriage house, about all that's left of an old country estate. The big house was torn down long ago, and woods have sprung up where the lawns and gardens grew. Beyond the woods, fields stretch for miles - perfect for riding.
But when Gail steps through the iron gate near the edge of the woods, she has a shock. Instead of fields, she looks across a wide lawn to an enormous house! And running toward her is a girl wearing a dress from a hundred years ago!
Somehow, Gail has gone back in time. Can she return to the present? Or will she and Candy be caught in the past forever?
*****
My review:
Jean Slaughter Doty, talented author of books like "Summer Pony," "Winter Pony," "The Monday Horses," and "Dark Horse" is an incredibly good crafter of horse books. She continues her legacy of moving and detailed horse stories with "Can I Get There by Candlelight?" a tale of friednship that is ultimately doomed to fail. Overall an extremely good read that will stay with you for weeks after you read it.
