Wow - I've really been half-dead from the neck up this week! I swear I read that entire entry because I do remember the review of hearts of Horses and yet I completely missed your contest. I think I got so excited about replying re ZKS I must have blanked everything else out!

Anyways, it sounds like exactly the kind of book I'd have loved as a kid (as soon as I'd determined there would be no talking horses) and now. Thanks! You're really too sweet!
