I think Sarah Lean is an amazing author.

It is such a detailed book i loved it so much. It about a horse and two girls one named Angel and one named Nell.

Theme of this book is friendship because Nellie becomes friends with a girl named Angel who isn't really liked by other people. The book shows that you should always give people a chance no mateer what their reputation is.

I give this book five stars, I love how the writer of the book made it like a little bit of mystery and a little bit of drama. Whenever I would stop reading this book, I got sad or mad at my teacher for making me stop because it was time for something else, I've read this book like 10 times, it is my favorite book ever, I remember ever single scene, even though I read this book 1 or 2 months ago at my latest. I'm so thankful that this book is on this app, if it wasn't, this would not be a really good app... I don't want to spoil much but, I love how Angle is like mysterious, and steals, but her name is Angle. 😆. This book was not long in my opinion, sense I loved the book a lot, I love mysteries, and I love drama in books, I loveeeeeeeeee this book, I hope everybody loves it as much as me!!!

Every time I tried to read this book I always ended up finding something else that I thought I might like more but I finally decided I wanted to try to finish the whole thing, and I'm glade I did because I couldn't stop reading it. Sometimes when I was reading it I tried to predict what was going to happen next and I was so confident about my prediction, but when the part I was predicting came up I was always wrong. I like how this book kept me guessing, which also made me want to read more this is a great book and I am glade I read it.

When Nell was sent to stay with distant family, she packed a suitcase full of secrets. When she got there, she met a girl called Angel. Both girls had secrets, everyone had secrets. But Angel was dangerous, Rita said. Could Nell trust her? Things got stolen, even goats and some blankets. Days have gone by and both girls got closer and closer. The challenge Nell had to take is to find who stole all those things from the neighbours. What I like about this book is that this book is about friendship and trusting each other.

This is a great story. Sarah Lean did a wonderful job on writing this book. It was about a little girl(Nell) that had to go and stay with her Aunt Liv for 2 weeks along with 2 cousins whom she did not know. She was not looking forward to going and before leaving to go she found a suitcase in the attic that had a carousel inside that her dad had made. She wanted to take this with her and put it together while at the farm. Once she arrived and removed her luggage out of the car, a horse startled her, the next thing she knows, someone stole the suitcase. All she saw was the shoes. Nell can not go inside and tell her mother since she doesn't know what she found in the attic. While she is on the Farm, she found out that another girl named Angel had taken her suitcase. Her cousins told her to be careful around Angel, that she was a liar and a thief. However, once you get to know Angel, you may look at her differently. Things are not always what they seem. Nell continues to go over to try and get her suitcase back. While you are reading the story, even though it is based on Nell, you start relaying the story to Angel and the 99 horses. The major horse is Belle, who is the leader of the other horses. Their is a story about the 100th horse. I don't want to give the story away, yet a colt is born, however, the legs are wobbly and must be tended to. Is the horse special? Could the horse be something mystical? You must read the story and find out. I promise you won't be disappointed. A great book!

The novel A Hundred Horses, written by Sarah Lean, is a realistic fiction book about a girl finding herself through the act of friendship. Nell's parents split up recently and she is forced to spend her vacation with her aunt in the countryside. The only remains of her father are a leather suitcase filled with pieces to build a merry-go-round of horses. In the countryside Nell uncovers a secret of an old wives tale about the 100th horse. With the conflict of a girl named Angel she not only uncovers the secret of the 100th horse but finds a bond of friendship with fire and water. Something that the novel taught me about being truly human is that friendship can come between to very different people. I showed to not judge people by their actions or appearance, but to get to know them because, just like Angel and Nell who were fire and water,and together they made a perfect dynamic duo. I would recommend this book to girls because the narration is from a girls perspective and has friendships very different from a guys friendship. Also i would recommend this to girls who have a love and understanding for horses, because the setting is a countryside farm with animals and horses. As for age group I would recommend it for ages 9-12 because it is an easier read but still has a sophisticated plot open to all female readers.
