There were always those girls in school who would run around in school pretending to be horses, neighing and galloping. Horse Mad tells the story of a girl who wakes up one morning and finds she has lost her horsiness. It explores the themes of friendship and acceptance, looking at young Alice's frienships with her horsey friends and worrying that they will go away if they realise she's lost her horsiness. Funny and witty this book is an excellent lesson in the true meaning of frienship without being hard handed.
Recommended for ages: 9-12
