"Ellen Feld has given kids another top-notch book in her award-winning Morgan Horse series...This book combines an exciting story with a lot of useful, practical information. It's a well-rounded way for young horse lovers to enjoy an entertaining book, and also to learn about equine behavior, proper horse care, and riding safety...Horses are portrayed as sensitive and thoughtful creatures, and the author beautifully captures the bond between a horse and a young girl. Bottom Line: Anouther blue-ribbon winner!"

Molly Martin, The Compulsive Reader :

"Writer Feld has crafted a magnificent tale that includes examples of truthfulness, dependability, comradeship, and human nature, in the quick paced chronicle of a lost mare and an adolescent girl. Ellen F. Feld, equine columnist, ardent horse lover, respected author, touches the compassion and passion of the teenaged horse loving set."

V.S. Grenier, Stories for Children Magazine Editor :

"Children's Choice Award-winning author, Ellen F. Feld, has done it again. The latest book in Feld's Morgan horse series is Annie: The Mysterious Morgan Horse. I found myself lost in a world of mistrust, sadness, and in the end, friendship and love. Feld did a wonderful job teaching the reader about making right choices, learning to trust in others, and when to speak up against wrong doing."

Liz Ryan, Just About Horses Magazine :

"A must-read for young horse lovers, this book is filled with intrigue, adventure, friendship, and the unmistakable bond between a girl and a very special horse."

Armchair Reviews :

"This is a great story for young readers ages nine and up. Ellen Feld�s knowledge of horses�their care, breeding and showing�is very evident and lends credibility to the plot. The engaging drawings by Jeanne Mellin add clarity and interest. Annie is the sixth in the popular series about horses. Two previous books have won awards and Annie has already received a bronze medal in the �Moonbeam Children�s Book Awards. Armchair Interviews says: Great book for children and middle readers who love horses, and those who just love stories about any animal."

Xavier-House Reviews :

"Annie: The Mysterious Morgan Horse will appeal to younger readers, girls in particular. The characters are very well though out, and the main female character (Heather Richardson) has a strong voice. For those who are familiar with equine terminology, Annie will be an easy read. For those who do not know much about horses, the story will give a good insight into the world of horse shows, equine care, and the legend of Justin Morgan."

Irmarie Jones, The Greenfield Recorder :

"Ellen Feld really knows what young horse lovers like. With her new book, Annie, she has created an exciting and suspenseful new story for anyone in the teenage crowd who adores horses."

John Clark, TCM Reviews :

"The latest entry in Ellen Feld's Morgan Horse Series will thoroughly please
fans of the series as well as capture the hearts of newcomers...In addition to a wonderful story line, young readers will learn much about the basics of training, veterinary care of horses and the consequences of lying. They wil also be introduced to a bit of the lore surrounding Justin Morgan. This is a great book for horse lovers of any age and would be a fine acquisition for both public and school libraries."

Deb Fowler, Roundtable Reviews :

"Ellen F. Feld, award-winning author, equine journalist and phenomenally passionate horse lover, once again reaches out to the hearts and dreams of the teenaged horse loving set with her anxiously awaited new book Annie: The Mysterious Morgan Horse. No doubt about it, I'm simply captivated by Ellen Feld's Morgan Horse series. I like the way Feld easily reintroduces characters from the earlier books, horses and people alike. This book can stand alone, but is even better if you're familiar with the others in the series. She really knows about horses and, without trying to be trite, is the horse whisperer of the teen horse set. Anyone who doesn't like horses will want to fall in love with them after reading any book by Ellen Feld, and Annie: The Mysterious Morgan Horse is no exception."

Viviane Crystal, Crystal Reviews:

�Annie is more than just a story about winning show competitions for horses. It�s about how to bond with and treat horses, any animal for that matter, and how that brings out the best in all involved. Even if you�ve never ridden a horse, you�ll wind up wanting to try after reading this sensitive and tender novel, and you will definitely be even more interested in finding out more about this particular breed of proud, talented Morgan Horses! Exquisite! Wonderful!�

Terry Doherty, The Reading Tub, Inc. :

"Ellen Feld has crafted another story that equestrians will adore and those new to horses will love. She offers wonderful insight into the horse world, including some not-so-pretty sights, without being graphic or over-the-top. In fact, her writing has the opposite effect: you instantly become empathetic for the horses and the care-givers in their lives. Annie will tug on your heart from the opening pages and will give you a wonderful ride to the end. Reading Ellen Feld's Morgan Horse series immerses you in the horse world. In Annie, you feel as though you are part horse, part spectator. Feld gets you off to a fast start, then forces you to manage your pace. It's hard not to race ahead, but she is a master of her craft and will keep you reading and, when it's over, wanting more."
