Summary: STEALING THUNDER IS AN EXTRAORDINARY BOOK!
Comment: Stealing Thuder is a compelling story about a young girl and her passion for horses. Libby Roselli is determined to do just about anything to save Thunder, a spirited, young Appaloosa, from abuse. Mr. Porter is abusing Thunder and decideds to sell off the entire stable after his wife runs off. Money issues were always the start of fights. Libby knew first hand. She used to work at Northwind Stables and get riding lessons from Jolene Porter. Fights with her husband force her to leave without a good-bye. Tim Porter never liked Libby and he hated horses. When getting money comes down to burning down the barn with the horses inside, Porter is ready with the gasoline. Luckily, Libby and Griff, a new friend, are there to save the horses. Libby meets Griff and gets to actually know him over the summer. The two youngsters formulate late night plans to take Thunder to a safe place. When they get caught, they are banned from the premisis. On their second attempt, Porter sets the barn a blaze and Libby and Griff save Thuder, Cincinatti, and Two-Step. A relationship starts so blossom between Libby and Griffin, but dosen't fully develop by the end of the book. Mary Casanova did an excellent job using details and descriptive scenes to paint pictures for the reader. The book is mostly based on how determined Libby is to fight for what she believs is right, and what she loves. That story line, plus horses... can you think of a better book?

Summary: O.K. Horse Book,room for improvement
Comment: This book is about 12-year-old Libby and Thunder,the young appaloosa she has developed a special bond with. Thunder's owner Jolene has run off and left Thunder in the care of her cruel husband Mr.Porter,who abuses Thunder and even drowns the barn cat Mitt's kittens! Libby really wants Thunder,but her family can't afford him. So she and her friend Griff try to rescue him before Mr.Porter does something that will give him money and kill Thunder!It's up to Libby and Griff to save him! This is a good adventure,and I like it beacause it's about horses(I own a pony and ride). However,the story is a little boring most of the time;only about one third is about Thunder. All the rest is about things that dont'have anything to do with horses. Too high a percentage is about Libby and Griff making plans,and too low a percentage is about actually doing something. However,the parts that are about horses are pretty realistic,considering Libby's limited horse knowledge.

Summary: READ! GOOD BOOK! No, really. It is.
Comment: I first read this book in fifth grade, and it made me so depressed, because it's so sad, but I read it again recently, and I realized that it may not be the best written book in the world (or have the brightest story line) but if you think about it in the right way, this is a great book. No matter how many times I read it, it always makes me cry. This is a great book for preteen and teen horse-crazy girls. But the idea of this book is completely lost to me. Be prepared for crime, attempted murder, and even death. ...
