Title: Ashleigh's Diary / Thoroughbred
Author:  Joanna Campbell
Reviewer:  Julie W. '06

The main characters, Ashleigh, Caroline, Rory, Mona, Mr. Griffen and Mrs. Griffen all lived on a horse farm called Edgardale Farm. Ashleigh had her own horse named Stardust, that she loved with all of her heart. Ashleigh’s family’s horse, Black Night, was stolen by horse thieves. Ashleigh saw this horse being born and he was a very good runner. They could get a lot of money from him, so this loss was horrible for her family. They tried the best they could to get Black Night back. Then a horrible sickness swept through their horse farm and killed a lot of their most valuable horses. This was very bad for their family because their business was to breed racing horses. Worst of all, Stardust, Ashleigh’s horse, was taken away from her much too soon.
