Wild Thing

Winnie the Horse Gentler

By: Dandi Daley Mackall

Narrated by: Sara Hannan

Twelve-year-old Winnie Willis has a way with horses. She can gentle the wildest mare, but other parts of her life don't always come as easily. Along with her dad and sister, Lizzy, Winnie is learning how to live without her mom, who was also a natural horse gentler. As Winnie teaches her horses about unconditional love and blind trust, God shows Winnie that he can be trusted too. Listeners will be hooked on the series' vivid characters, whose quirky personalities fill Winnie's life with friendship and adventure.

In #1 Wild Thing, Winnie's fearful heart finally begins to trust God again as she tries to gentle the horse of her dreams, Wild Thing.

very enjoyable listen

this is supposed to be a kids/tween book, I believe, but mom here reviewing and I really enjoyed this book. it is Christian Fiction, so there was Bible woven in. there was a few things that might not be appropriate for younger listeners, depending on the youngster- but overall this was a great book for all ages. not just about girls and horses, the main character, yes, is a girl into horses, but the 3 secondary characters include girls and boys with lizards, dogs, cats...
just an overall likeable, enjoyable book for animal people. pay attention to the names- most of those are great fun!
