Interpretation To Books Blind Beauty

Tessa has major attitude and an impossible dream—not a greatcombination for success. But she believes that fate has delivered the ungainly horse Buffoon to her, and Tessa is determined never to be separated from him. What's more, she intends to one day become a jockey and ride Buffoon in the Grand National. But how can a girl with a violent temper and a “can't do” philosophy gain the physical strength, courage, and money needed to become a jockey—especially when her stepfather would like nothing better than to see her fail? Determination and grit may not be enough—but Tessa's not going to let go without giving it her all.

Commentary Appertaining To Books Blind Beauty
KM Peyton is undoubtedly one of the most competent contemporary writers of horse fiction (of any age) out there with a distinct style of prose and a refreshingly realistic view of the horse world. As far as 'pony books' are concerned a parent with literary standards looking for a well written novel for a middle grade or teenage horse rider is well served buying this book. So, why 'only' the 3 stars? Two reasons and they are purely to do with this reader's personal conviction and subsequent

Tessa is a character any kid can relate to, and her goal to prove her spiteful stepfather wrong and ride her beloved horse becomes a powerful novel of understanding, rebellion, coming-of-age and having the power to do anything.

Angst and horses the perfect combo. Read repeatedly as a kid.

This book is stunning. Its the second time Ive read it but it felt like the first, and affected me as much, if not more. Its truly beautiful, moving and wild. A true gem of a book.Full review can be found at My Endless Shelf

Tessa fits in nowhere with a horrible stepfather and a bad record of getting kicked out of boarding schools. Her stepfather arranges for her to work at a stable and she falls in love with horses. The characters in this book are so interesting; they come right off the page into your imagination. There are many things going on; the growing up of Tess from anti-social to social, the horrible stepfather and her mother's relationship and the other people who work at the riding yard. The riding yard

This story is for animal lovers. It's incredible, as Tess's journey through. Her happy life at the beginning, to her father disturbed step father. Her achievements are outstanding and you will be left shell-shocked by her bravery and determination.

Read as part of my bookshelf cleaning....This book took me a little while to get into, but once it got me, it got me GOOD. The plot was much more mature than I expected and I really enjoyed it as a non-traditional coming of age story. However, I was a bit bothered by randomly changing perspectives, no solid time period or location and random time jumps. Overall a good book for horse lovers or just animal lovers.
