Review Although the author originally targeted this series towards teenage girls, anyone of any age will thoroughly enjoy this story. Be warned: this is not the type of book you can just put down when you want to. If you decide to pick up this book as your next good read, be prepared to tell your boss or teachers why you are sleeping at your desk! --Cassie Mayer, Vermont Morgan Horse Association The adventurous sequel to Ellen F. Feld's novel, Blackjack, Frosty: The Adventures of a Morgan Horse is a thoroughly delightful novel for young readers about a girl and her relationship with powerful and noble animals. Heather Richardson, owner of the horse Blackjack, is entrusted with a rare gray Morgan named Frosty. Heather learns to her disappointment that not all horses are meant for the show ring, yet she also discovers that Frosty's strength lies in trail riding as she and Frosty must learn to work together to survive the woods of Vermont. Frosty is a story to be cherished by horse lovers of all ages. --Midwest Book Review There aren't many writers around today who can compare to [Marguerite] Henry at her best, but I'll wager that New England's own Ellen F. Feld will be remembered someday in her own right. Feld's latest book, Frosty: The Adventures of a Morgan Horse combines Feld's love of Morgans and gift for storytelling. Frosty is the follow-up volume to Feld's delightful Blackjack, and I found Frosty to be my favorite of the two books. In Frosty, Feld has hit her narrative stride that makes the book one you won't want to put down, whether you are 13 or 43. --Horsemen's Yankee Pedlar From the Inside Flap Frosty, the second book in the Morgan Horse series, continues the adventures of Heather Richardson and her horse Blackjack.

About the Author Award-winning author Ellen Feld began writing about horses more than 20 years ago. At first she wrote for small, regional magazines, but within a few short years, her work began to appear regularly in large, national publications. In 2001, while waiting for her next assignment, Ms. Feld wrote a short story about a Morgan. That tale became the first chapter of Blackjack: Dreaming of a Morgan Horse. The book went on to win a coveted Children's Choices award (as did the second book in the series, Frosty), an honor bestowed jointly by the International Reading Association and the Children's Book Council. The book was also picked up by Breyer Animal Creations to be sold with a model of the star of the story, Blackjack. To date, Ms. Feld has authored fifteen horse books, including seven in the Morgan Horse series and three in the best-selling Donkey-Donk series. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband, two children, twelve horses, and assorted other pets.
