“A wonderful story for families to share”<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cInto the Dark\u201d allowed me to jump right into the third book of an incredible trilogy. Having grown up with an affinity towards horses, I found myself relating to the main character; I also gained a greater appreciation for these incredible animals, and the roles that they have played in helping mankind evolve.

\"gendSpecial thanks to Reader Views<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The presence of Reader Views<\/em> as an independent book resource has been especially important for the The Legend of the Great Horse<\/strong> trilogy<\/em>. <\/p>\n

For the first book, Eclipsed by Shadow<\/em><\/strong>, almost a hundred pre-publication review requests were sent out–but only TWO came through: a highly-respected industry recommendation from venerable Library Journal<\/em><\/a> … and one from the independent reviewers at Reader Views!<\/em> Wendy Cleveland of Reader Views gave the first review of Eclipsed by Shadow<\/a>, Book I of the trilogy. <\/p>\n

In 2009 Eclipsed by Shadow<\/strong> placed second in the Reader Views Awards for Young Adult Fantasy. Eclipsed by Shadow<\/em><\/strong><\/a> won other national awards including the Eric Hoffer Award<\/em> for best Young Adult Fiction, and the 2010 Mom\u2019s Choice Award<\/em> for best family-friendly Young Adult Fantasy … yet the first was through Reader Views!<\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
