"If you like adventurous stories, get this series!" - The Old Schoolhouse Magazine

"Frosty: The Adventures of a Morgan Horse is a delightful book with an eye-catching cover. It combines the unbeatable combination of horses and drama, and teen readers, especially girls, will love it. From the first chapter, it captures the reader's interest and sets up an engaging plot: how is this girl going to buy this horse and what will happen if she does? For any kid who loves animals, this is a must read. I especially liked the way the author puts both horses and Heather in jeopardy, yet gets them out convincingly without creating a boring or pat ending. The tension goes right up into the last few pages, and I think readers will really enjoy the feeling of being around stables and arenas and the beautiful horses. The writing is so descriptive that you really feel like you are right there with Heather, Frosty and Blackjack throughout the entire book. This would be a great book for anyone who loves horses or animals in general. Great idea!" - Writer's Digest

"The adventurous sequel to Ellen F. Feld's novel, Blackjack, Frosty: The Adventures of a Morgan Horse is a thoroughly delightful novel for young readers about a girl and her relationship with powerful and noble animals. Heather Richardson, owner of the horse Blackjack, is entrusted with a rare gray Morgan named Frosty. Heather learns to her disappointment that not all horses are meant for the show ring, yet she also discovers that Frosty's strength lies in trail riding as she and Frosty must learn to work together to survive the woods of Vermont. Frosty is a story to be cherished by horse lovers of all ages." - Midwest Book Review

"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 newly revised book, Frosty.  Reading Frosty instantly transported me back to my childhood days and returned to me the wonderment and awe I used to feel when I'd hide under the covers with a flashlight, turn page after page of a favorite book and read to my heart's delight.  This is one of those rare timeless books that can be enjoyed and read by all age levels.   It's very easy to see why this is a Children's Choice award winner because this reviewer thinks it's a winner too!" - Debbie Fowler, Roundtable Reviews

"The story is both adventurous and suspenseful." - Eventing USA

"Instead of typical horse story type adventures, Feld has come up with a very different type of adventure for Heather and Frosty which provides the reader with an exciting and educational view of the challenging and potentially dangerous sport of trail riding. Will Heather and Frosty survive their trail riding adventure? Will the vet discover the cause of Blackjack's mysterious problem? Be prepared, for discovering how Feld answers these questions will keep you glued to this book. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and, after staying up half the night to finish it, would recommend it to horse lovers of all ages." - Susan Dudasik, Just Horses

"...This is a very engaging read for horse-crazy pre-teens who will keep turning the pages as author Ellen Feld skillfully weaves horse care and training information into a very entertaining story about the adventures of a young girl who loves Morgan horses." - Horses All

"There aren't many writers around today who can compare to [Marguerite] Henry at her best, but I'll wager that New England's own Ellen F. Feld will be remembered someday in her own right. Feld's latest book, Frosty: The Adventures of a Morgan Horse combines Feld's love of Morgans and gift for storytelling. Frosty is the follow-up volume to Feld's delightful Blackjack, and I found Frosty to be my favorite of the two books. In Frosty, Feld has hit her narrative stride that makes the book one you won't want to put down, whether you are 13 or 43." - Horsemen's Yankee Pedlar

Here's the review from Equiworld Magazine.

"In her second novel Ellen Feld continues to skillfully weave horse care and training information into the entertaining story of a young girl who loves Morgan Horses. Young readers are sure to keep turning the pages to read about Heather's adventures, while learning some of the finer points of horse ownership." - Jan Mansfield, Equestrian Journalist, Janus Communications, Inc.

"Make room on your bookshelf for Ellen Feld's newest novel in the chronicles of Heather Richardson's life with her Morgan Horses. A true delight for teenage readers, Feld brings us the sequel to her first novel, Blackjack, with this heartwarming story of Heather and her newest Morgan, Frosty, and their many adventures together. As well as being entertaining, Feld also teaches her young readers about horse healthcare and ownership. A sweet and charming story by this talented young adult author." - Christina Koliander, Managing Editor, The Morgan Horse Magazine.

"Gifted author Ellen Feld brings back the main characters from her acclaimed book Blackjack in this wonderful sequel. Not since the great stories of Marguerite Henry, C.W. Anderson and Walter Farley has an author so captured the romance and allure of horses for the teenage market. I loved every word!" - Hallie McEvoy, author of Genuine Risk and Horse Show Judging for Beginners.

"Once again, author Ellen Feld combines education with entertainment in her delightful sequel, Frosty. Readers will be intrigues with Blackjack's mysterious illness. As strange symptoms appear, teamwork is needed between veterinarians to solve the perplexing problem. Clinical signs seem unrelated, yet come together in the end to help diagnose and heal a rare condition." - Ronald J. Emond, DVM, Candlewood Equine, LLC, Bridgewater, CT.

"This is one of the most engaging teenage horse books that this reviewer has read in quite a while. Frosty is a wonderful sequel to Blackjack and readers will be unable to put it down. Wondering whether Frosty and Heather will escape the woods of Vermont while at the same time trying to figure out what is wrong with Blackjack will keep readers captivated throughout this quick reading story." - Anthony P. Locorini, Editor, NYHorse.

"Reading Frosty brought back a lot of fond memories. Not simply memories of being twelve years old again and mesmerized by one of my favorite books, but memories of what it was like to spend hours in the presence of good friends and good horses. The story, the characters and more important the horses are real and come alive in the pages of this enjoyable book." - Lisa Nyberg, who along with her partner Carol Hudson breed world champion Morgan Horses under the Treble's Morgan Manor prefix.
