Sorry to say that I don't know of Black Veil Brides either, so can't compare. But Believing In Horses does instill some hope (I hope!).

Here's an blog post about a group of 4th graders that picked Believing In Horses as their first book club book. Turned out to be a great year with these young ladies! Here's the link: http://believinginhorses.com/blog/2011/11/30/horse-book-club/<br /><br />We had our "final ride" at the end of the year, and did end up putting the 50+ librarian on a horse for the first time on her life. These are the things that make life grand.Valerie Ormondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09265042049090562087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8298045475921166417.post-89363288247143896212012-09-09T18:58:59.848-06:002012-09-09T18:58:59.848-06:00My brother SWEARS it is not just a girl's book...My brother SWEARS it is not just a girl's book.

I have to agree with DelSheree that I consider the book more Middle Grade than Young Adult, but I see that as a good thing. Interestingly, I am currently working on the sequel, hearing feedback about more challenges for Sadie is very helpful, so thank you. And we'll see what we can do about that movie! :)Valerie Ormondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09265042049090562087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8298045475921166417.post-2546194799626945782012-09-07T22:08:47.945-06:002012-09-07T22:08:47.945-06:00I know what you mean!
