Miss Molly

The book I read was Miss Molly and it is written by Jenny Oldfield. Miss Molly is part of “Black Pearl Ponies”-serie and this book was published in 2011. Book tells about pony called Miss Molly.  Main characters are Keira and her dad, whose home is Black Pearl Ranch, where they help training ponies.  Keira has a talent with ponies and she can think the way a horse thinks, and her dad is hopeful  that some day Keira can take his place and continue his job with ponies, in ranch. One of main characters is also Sable Lucas, whose parents plan to give her a surprise on birthday – pony.  In my opinion, all characters in book seem real.

Sable Lucas’s parents want to give her a big birthdaypresent: Miss Molly. Miss Molly has some problems and pony is little bit nervy. So, Sable’s parents brought Miss Molly in Black Pearl Ranch and allow Keira and Keira’s dad  only three weeks to train the pony.  Problems cannot be avoided and along the journey happens suprising things. Miss Molly’s big problem, horror of trailers, solved. But what happens then? The biggest part of story take place in ranch. Book events take time some weeks, maybe three or four weeks. Events are told in chronological sequence. The narrator in the story is all the time neutral, outside of the book.

I think that main theme of this novel is something like “never give up”. Problems will be solved! With ponies, it is important to be persistent. In my opinion, the best part of the book is whole story about Miss Molly’s training. I was maybe too old to read this book, and I can recommend it  maybe for 10-12 years old girl who like horses.  I felt language was quite easy to read, and I can noticed that book is headed for kids. When I started read an English novel, I think reading will be very difficult. At first it was little bit hard, but then reading in English started to go.
