'I absolutely love Snow Foal – it's so truthful, tender and touching. A book to read in a day and remember for a lifetime.' – Dame Jacqueline Wilson The perfect children's book to curl up with and begin the new year.A beautiful and heart-wrenching middle grade debut for kids aged 9 to 11, full of love, healing, friendship and hope. Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson's Tracey Beaker, Cathy Cassidy, Pax and Gill Lewis. When eleven-year-old Addie goes to stay with a foster family on a remote Exmoor farm in the midst of a very cold winter, she is full of hurt, anger and a deep mistrust of everyone around her. Until one day, when she rescues a tiny wild foal from the moorland snow and Addie discovers that perhaps she’s not so alone after all. And as adventure and unexpected friendship blossom, Addie is determined that both of them will know what is to be home again soon … A beautifully written, warm read for anyone looking for a gorgeous family book to read together and to capture the imagination of young horse fans too. Susanna Bailey divides her time between writing, freelance social-work, and lecturing in Creative Writing at Bath Spa University, where she also studied. Susanna wrote Snow Foal during her time at the same university where she drew much inspiration from her tutor, award-winning David Almond. Snow Foal has already been shortlisted for the Joan Aitken Future Classics Prize.

When I read this book, it made my heart feel stronger of the connection between Addie and the foal.She stood up for it and brought it to its home where she thought it belonged but a day later, it was back again with an injured body. While that was happening she became friends with Gabe, Jude and her foster home parents. My favourite character is Gabe. I would recommend it to anyone who likes animals.

I liked it because it is taken place on a farm and the characters are interesting but also I loved the foal best of all. I would recommend it to everyone but specifically for those who love animals.

I found this book was a little slow to get into but once I was engrossed into the story, I really enjoyed it. After the prologue their was no comment about about a foal until chapter 7/8. This book was all about an 11 year old girl called Addie being taken to a foster family on an Exmoor farm by her social worker. Whilst she was their she helped look after a young wild foal and together they made new friends, it was with the help of the foal that she settled into her new life, because before she found him she just wanted to go back home to the city and her Mum who was having problems. I would recommend this fiction book to all horse or animal loving children.

Very good book. I just didn't like the ending " Snow to build Things with " What? Why not what happened to the foal? What happened to her and her friends? Overall this was a great book though.
