Then ten-year-old Emma buys the dream of a lifetime at a horse auction. When she learns the horse was stolen, even removing her hearing aid won’t drown out the voice telling her to make it right. But two girls can’t divide the horse they both adore. So will life surprise them with an answered prayer? Review 1st Place Award - Purple Dragonfly - Middle Grade Fiction 2nd Place Award - Angel Book Awards - Youth Fiction 3rd Place Award - Moonbeam - Pre-Teen Fiction . Selah's Stolen Dream is a polarizing tale of dealing with the aftermath of a stolen horse. I not only read each word, I felt them. As a victim of theft myself, I found the characters realistic in their reactions to their life-changing moment, so much so I often teared up while reading. If you want to understand what it's like to have a horse ripped from your life, the thoughts that go through your head, and how one terrible act absorbs your life--then read this book. It is well written, riveting and a must-read for every person who loves horses. Debi Metcalfe, President Stolen Horse International-NetPosse.com Selah's Stolen Dream is especially powerful not just because of its attraction to readers of horse stories and farm girls, but because its underlying message about compassion and sharing teaches kids lessons broader than those of achievement and ownership. Its compelling dilemma will thoroughly involve middle grades, but will also reach advanced elementary readers with a lively, emotion-powered story that is hard to put down. Selah's Stolen Dream trots well beyond the girl-loves-horse scenario, and is reminiscent of some of the best of Dorothea Lyons' classic horse stories for youth. MidWest Book Review by Diane Donovan FIVE STARS : Susan Count's young adult novel, Selah's Stolen Dream (Dream Horse Adventures), is more than merely another horse story. Two parallel plots develop simultaneously: Selah's story and Emma's. The build-up of excitement leads to a shattering climax, but each girl shows maturity beyond their years in their ability to do the hardest thing ever, realizing that it is the right thing to do. The story is full of horse lore, mystery, adventure and the difficult decisions young people have to make as they mature. A powerful story with a compelling plot! Reviewed by Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers' Favorite Ms. Count has a whimsical way with her writing that makes the reader believe that they are there with the characters.

The other thing I love about this book is the sweet inspirational aspects. ~Here's How It Happened Selah's Stolen Dream has characters that young horse lovers can relate to especially if they ride . . . This would be a good book to use teach your daughter about making hard choices. Check this one out for your horse loving girls. ~Christy's Cozy Corners The new YA release by Susan Count, Selah's Stolen Dream, is a fabulous book for all ages . . . It would work well for book club discussion and home school curriculum. And it offers some great teachable opportunities for families. Highly recommended. ~The Power of Words Selah's Stolen Dream is a Dream read for girls at any age. Yes, it is written for Middle Grade but a more Mature/Grandmotherly type reader that lives and breaths horse will appreciate it just as much. ~My Reading Journeys From the Author If you like a wild ride, saddle up and ride along.
