REVIEWS FOR TRICKSTARS
'With horses, acrobatics, glitter and magic, Trickstars Triple Magic has all the ingredients to hit the mark with girls aged seven to ten years.' Jade Harmer, Buzzwords Magazine.
'Written for newly independent readers from about 7-10. Mix dreams, sadness, and intrigue with horses, acrobatics, magic and characters that appeal and there is a formula for a series that will appeal to girls who love reading and horses. There are six in the collection ... each building on the previous episode. I predict they will be warmly welcomed and eagerly read as young ladies put themselves in the saddle alongside Ruby, Lexie and Kit and share the dream with them.' Barbara Braxton, ReadPlus.com.au.
'This is a fun, upbeat story of three determined girls and their love of riding. It's not just a horse story though, it also contains a touch of gypsy magic and covers some broader themes like familial responsibilities. The interactions between the girls and their family are authentic and the characters are well formed. This is the first horse story I've read (and I've read many) about trick riding, so it's something different from the norm. This book should do well in public and primary school libraries, and the cover ensures it will appeal to young girls and horse lovers.' Reviewed by Rebecca Kemble, Reading Time.
'This is a winning combination; triplets (who could practically read each other's minds), a hidden past, family secrets, gypsy horses and an opportunity for the girls to win a big talent show and make their dreams come true. Read it and see. There are more in the series to come.' Reviewer Megan Stuart, Bug in a Book.
'This book is aimed at eight to ten year olds and is a good contrast to many of the 'pony club' type books that often are written for this audience. Instead, this book has equal parts of horse adventures, real life hardships and family history which all help to give it more substance than many short novels. The text is easily accessible but readers still encounter rich vocabulary and a plot that makes it a very enjoyable read. ... With ten chapters and a hundred pages, this is a quick and engaging book which would be a great addition to a classroom library, particular to extend readers who enjoy horse stories but need gentle encouragement to explore other topics.'
