I enjoyed this book. It was very exciting. It is about a girl named Cale Crane who lives on a farm with no horses at the time and Cale met a jockey named Manolin at her dad's work, which is at a racetrack. She also saw a horse named Sonya who likes to eat candy.
The people who owned Sonya entered her in the race even though Cale's dad suggested that they should let her rest and not race. Just as Sonya was pulling into the front, she collapsed to the ground and the vet said she broke her cannon bone. Cale's dad was fired and he took Sonya, Manolin and Balon (another person who worked with her dad) with him, hoping that he could heal Sonya enough to walk. Even Cale helped take care of Sonya.
Every night, Cale would sneak out of bed, grab two popcicles that she would leave outside to go give to Sonja. After a while, Sonya could stand. A while later, the vet said she didn't see why Sonya couldn't have a baby. But whenever they tried to get a famous race horse named Grand Slam, they didn't have enough money to borrow him, so they could get a baby.
Cale's grandpa told Cale to take a coffee can to her dad. Her dad wouldn't accept it because it was filled with money to breed the horse, so he could sell the foal. Cale found out that Sonya's full name was Sonador. That means Dreamer in Spanish.
The vet came back and said that Sonya couldn't have babies. After a while they put her in a race, a claimers race. Sonya came in third. But Sonya was claimed. Cale didn't want to hear this. Sonya was claimed for $15,000.
But, Cale's dad was able to get Sonya back and made Sonya Cale's horse. Cale decides to run Sonya in the breeder's cup classic! She makes it into the fourteen horses that run the race. But Cale needed more money if she was going to enter. So she went to a prince who loved spending money on the races. She asked him for $120,000, but if Sonya won, she had to pay him back double. Sonya went on and on until she did it. She won the classic.
This book was very exciting and I enjoyed it.

This was a fine review of a book. I thought the writer is talented. I also think that all will be well in the long run...as long as writers like this continue their craft.
Meesha - This is an excellent review for Dreamer and I think this is something my kids might enjoy to read as well.
Another well written review by the gifted Meesha Clark! Good job, keep 'em coming.
Sounds like a fun story thanks for the review.
Todd, good for Meesha! She's a blogger and might not even know it yet. ;-)
Hi Meesha, How old are you? I think it is great that you are doing this and by the way, you have a pretty wonderful Dad! Merry Christmas, Meesha!
Todd, Meesha did an excellent job in writing this book review. I really enjoyed reading the review .... Meesha is AR's "Star Book Reviewer".
Great Job - you are obviously very proud of her...there should b a website for reviews like this - maybe a new niche...
Imagine collecting all of the book reports from grades 3 to 6 and publishing them in an organized format? Would make for some fun reading...
Merry Christmas,
John
Meesha, you make me wish that I was young again. It seems like all that I ever get to read is business books. I am currently half way through Investing in Real Estate with Lease Options. I really wish I was reading Dreamer instead!
Meesha ---- you have done an outstanding job on the book review of "Dreamer" -- you are getting better with every review that you do.
Happy Holidays
Saw the movie. It's ridiculously awesome. One of the few that I'd actually buy. Good to feed your kids with great stuff! Guess the book is next!
Thank you everyone for your wonderful comments. Mark, good luck on picking up a good book, my dad is stuck reading those books as well. He says he has to or he won't be on the fore front of the business. (Whatever that means)
