Book Review: Horse Diaries: Elska by Catherine Hapka, Ruth Sanderson (Illustrator) - Page 2

In closing, it is mentioned that Icelandic horses are given Icelandic names, no matter the place of their breeding. This is an age old tradition still carried out. Elska is a commonly used Icelandic name used for mares and means “friendly” or “playful” - two things that definitely describe Elska within this story, perfectly.The second in the Horse Diaries series is Bell’s Star; the first chapter is included at the end of Elska, leaving the reader eagerly anticipating its arrival. This series promises to quickly become a favorite for every girl who either desires or has desired to be surrounded by horses. This is a true horse lover’s dream and will be cherished for years to come.

*overall rating 4.5/5
