Phantom Stallion #13: Heartbreak Bronco

I bought a few of these a school bookfair and my tween daughter loved them so much she has read at least 15 in the set. It's great when you can find an author your child likes, so they can see that reading is enjoyable, not just a homework assignment. I plan to buy the rest of the series eventually.

This book is good. Jinx is cute, and HARP is a neat idea, but this Phantom Stallion book lacks some of the luster that the others in the series have. Same case with Moonrise. It a good read though, something to pass the time. Have fun with it! I would recommend getting Red Feather Filly or Free Again, though.

I have read the first thirteen of the Phantom Stallion series, and Heartbreak Bronco is my favorite one. Like all the Phantom Stallion books, a lot of different story lines and problems are presented throughout the book. In Heartbreak Bronco, everyone's problems are solved with happy endings! I highly recommend the Phantom Stallion series for any horse lover!

This book is a little "fast-paced" I think: they solve everything so quickly and easily that is a bit silly. I don't think some of the problems could have been fixed in just a few days like it was in the book. Also, Slocum's behavior is getting a little extreme and unrealistic to me though. I mean, yes he is a rich, spoiled jerk but he is starting to act like some silly character from a morning cartoon, always cursing Samantha and blaming her for everything. It seems a bit extreme to me. However, I do like Jinx a lot and the story itself was a lot of fun to read and very enjoyable.

I can't get enough of these Phantom stallion books! Every one seems to just get better and better. HeartBreak Bronco is about a mustang named Jinx that gets a second chance because of the HARP program. Two girls are interduced in this book that are going into the program. I'm not going to say anything else because I think you should read it yourselves!
