Joan Phipson is one of my favorite authors. Her books are suited to older children, perhaps middle school and above. She understands children, horses, and Australian farm/ranch life. She is good to her characters, hoping they will show some self-improvement in areas that every young personality needs evolving, such as learning responsibility and kindness. Her plots are exciting without being terrifying. The enemy is often nature in its relentless fury, but everyone learns to deal with the aftermath. Linda Owens
