Editorial Review

"Like a Spark" is a beautifully told story about a horse trying to fit in and help her herd despite the awful way most of the other horses treated her because of her unusual wings.

I personally love horses, and this well-written book piqued my interest the moment I started reading it. The author definitely has a wild imagination, and I loved the way she narrated her original tale. The descriptive yet simple way each animal character came to life and their interactions with each other didn't require any pictures since the author made it easy to imagine it all, but I still loved the ones included. I quite enjoyed this book even though I am an adult, and believe that older kids, as well as young teens, would too. It's an easy and fun read. -Chantalle Belleheumer
