By: Jane Smiley 4 Stars Genre: Fiction Hailey 8th Grade True Blue is about a horse who's name is True blue and it all starts with a girl and her family and one day they went to a friend's house and when they met blue he was happy and so they bought him for three dollars. The theme is how the girl and the horse connect to each other in like chapter 3 or 4. My opinion is the book was a four because it was kind of a ghost story at the same time it was a horse story so really had to pay attention to what you are reading and what was happening. |
