Disappointed couldn't get into story
Review lead me to think story would be more along a horse
story. Then an angry boy, not appreciating what had been given to him. You don't have much of an in site of what led him to be this way, when you start story. Or is it just him made at the world. Some people might enjoy this. I didn't.

A truly wonderful book
Recently I sat down and read Runaway, the first book in Dandi Daley MackallâÂÂs Starlight Animal Rescue series. Having never read one of MackallâÂÂs books before, I wasnâÂÂt quite sure what to expect, even though I had heard a lot of really good things about some of her other teen book series. All in all, I have to say that I was very much pleased, and that this book exceeded my expectations.
Runaway tells the story of Dakota Brown, an orphan who has a penchant for running away from the foster homes she gets placed in. So when she gets dropped off at the Starlight Animal Rescue farm, she has no plans of sticking around. Once she hears back from her friend in Chicago and formulates a plan sheâÂÂll be away from this place for good. That is, until she meets Blackfire, a horse who just might be more afraid of life then she is. But will this horse, and the crazy cast of characters who reside at the farm with her, be able to soften her heart and show her what truly matters in life before itâÂÂs too late?
Wow, I have to say that I was extremely impressed with this book. Mackall definitely has a love for all animals, especially horses, and that truly shines through in this book. The way she describes the horses, how they act, what they smell like, and how a person feels when theyâÂÂre around them is truly amazing. I honestly donâÂÂt think anyone can write about horses the way she does. So if you are looking for an enjoyable, faith based book for a young reader, I would most definitely recommend this book, because I know that whoever reads it will absolutely love it.
