The Princess and the Foal By Stacey Gregg

 
NZ Post – Junior Fiction
Reviewed by Angelina, 10 years old and interested in drawing, especially animals, baking and reading any genre of novels.
 
This book is based on a true life story of Haya, the daughter of the King of Jordan. 
It is tragic when Haya’s mother dies when she is 3 years old.
Haya grows up a very shy and withdrawn girl, but things begin to get better when she is given 2 camels (I think this is nice, but weird) and a baby horse for her 6th birthday.
She goes on to England to study and to become a great horse rider – her dream is to win the King’s Cup.

I think this is a really good book for girls who are 9 – 14 years old, and especially if they are interested in animals.  It could win the Junior Fiction category because it is very detailed and the story flows well.
