Ghost Horse at Oak Lane Stable: Book 4, by Kerri Lukasavitz

Middle Grade Fiction

224 pages

Ghost Horse is an engaging and heartwarming tale that seamlessly weaves the captivating world

of horses with the emotions and trials of being a teen. The author masterfully captures the

essence of adolescence, blending relatable teenage experiences with the enchantment of the

equestrian realm. This book is also a perfect stand alone, so if you haven’t read the first three

books in the series, you won’t miss a beat.

The author does a fantastic job conveying the thoughts and feelings of a 14-year-old and uses

great interiority to show Cassie’s struggles which gives the story its core. Also, being an animal

lover, there is something about animal friendships that I adore. But you don’t need to be a “horse

person” specifically to appreciate this book, because it is the characters that will hold your

attention until the very end. I think coming-of-age readers will really enjoy this book, as well as

older readers who want to be transported back in time and have a wholesome read.
