My daughter just finished this and now has a new favorite Princess Ponies book. They seem to be getting better as they go.The Princess Pony series really feels more like the individual books are more like chapters or sections in a whole. You really need to start in book 1. So if you have read 1-4 and are considering getting 5, just know that my 7-year-old loved this one, where the ponies sprout wings and continue their quest to return the magic horseshoes to Chevalia's wall to save the magical island.As an adult I find the stories pretty boring and predictable, but for a 7-year-old princess- and pony-loving girl what could be better than a book about Princess Ponies that comes with jewelry. While I haven't enjoyed reading the books, I have enjoyed the time reading with my daughter.
An Amazing Rescue is the fifth title in the Princess Ponies series. Pippa and Stardust are still trying to find the remaining missing golden horseshoes in order to save Chevalia, the magical island of talking ponies, that is a refuge for all ponies in trouble before Midsummer Day, so the island doesn’t lose it’s magic. When they venture into the Wild Forest, they realize that Divine is the pony who has stolen the golden horseshoes. With the help of Peggy, the flying horse who gives Cloud wings, Pippa is determined, with the help of Cloud, Cinders and Stardust, to return the missing horseshoes to the Whispering Wall before sundown on Midsummer Day. Each of the books in the Princess Ponies series may be read as a stand-alone because much of the background story is repeated. The series capitalizes on the appeal of horses to girls, and the characters resemble the ponies in the popular animated television series, My Little Pony in that they are anthropomorphic. The plot of this book continues with adventure and intrigue written in the format of an easy chapter book. The book ends with an interview with Peggy that restates some of the story elements. Also there is an introduction to the last book in the series. A collectible magic horseshoe comes with each book that will most likely not survive in a library setting. Princess Ponies : an Amazing Rescue is recommended as an optional purchase for grades two through four.
We've been working our way through this series...its getting rather repetitious (common with a lot of these type chapter books though). My 7 y/o wants to finish the series (aka Find out how it ends), but if we had skipped a few books in the middle, it would have been fine(!) [read Book 4 tho--unicorns!]. She takes breaks between each book, as she's a little bored along the way [too]. Disappointed that this "new" book from arrived with a Crease on the front cover. Doesn't effect the reading, but for full retail price, I prefer "non-creased" books, like the rest in our series! The charms are a cute addition, but NOTE that the plastic holders stick out and don't work well on well-stocked bookshelf: other books get caught up on them, they take up more space, and if you remove them, they leave a big open cut out in your cover which will eventually rip. I would much rather have had plain covers (like our first 3 in this series). My daughter has not even removed the charms; she wants the story, not the cheap toy. We have not read 'this' story yet, but we're ready for the series to end; its been a lonng journey.
I love when they have all this magic and finding the magic horseshoes and sprouting wings and helping pony that have been mistreated.
I purchased this book for my 7 year old granddaughter. She owns several others in the series and enjoys reading them!
