Horse Trouble by Kristin Varner

adventurous emotional

3.0

 I had high hopes for this book, I saw a couple page preview and fell in love with the idea. However this is far from a middle grade novel. Some topics I realize some kids deal with at an earlier age than others however it shouldn't be promoted in a graphic novel without explanation to back it up. Topics such as: fat shaming, menstruation, "poppy your cherry", sexualizing a 12 year old, bullying. I do feel like in a novel where you can further explain on these topics it would work, but in a graphic novel it was brushed over. I did like learning about horse terms.
