I absolutely love Snow Foal – it's so truthful, tender and touching. A book to read in a day and remember for a lifetime.' – Dame Jacqueline Wilson I liked it because it is taken place on a farm and the characters are interesting but also I loved the foal best of all. I would recommend it to everyone but specifically for those who love animals. This sounds beautiful. I appreciate you sharing this because I never would’ve seen the book otherwise. I think am going to put this on my TBR.

It's a gripping sensitively written book' (Jenny McLachlan, author of The Land of Roar) - She strained to hear what Penny was saying to Ruth. Penny had her serious face on, which was worrying. Ruth was nodding. She glanced over at Addie, her eyes soft and watery. Like the police officer’s eyes, just before she made Addie let go of Mam’s hand. Sunni shrugged her shoulders. ‘My mum wants me to come home too, only she couldn’t learn how to look after me properly, so I’m staying here.’

Snow Foal | BookTrust

Sue has seen just how helpful stories – and animals – can be when children (and adults) are confused, sad, or afraid. She has learned about the healing power of nature; of wild, quiet, green spaces. Seven years ago, she decided to see if she could write about these things, and went to university to study creative writing. In 2016, Sue was awarded the Bath Spa University Undergraduate Prize for Writing for Young People. The following year, she graduated, with distinction, from Bath Spa’s wonderful MA Writing for Young People. Her MA Novel, Snow Foal, was shortlisted for the 2017 Joan Aiken Future Classics Prize, and given ‘honourary mention’ in the United Agents/Bath Spa University Prize for the same year. Aidan said he’d have shot himself if she’d got beaten,” recalls Longsdon, confident of his mare’s staying power over an additional one mile and 106 yards on Saturday. “She wasn’t tired. She just got lonely because she had been in front for two and a half miles into a driving headwind and driving rain.” I’m not hungry,’ Addie said. She watched as Penny took a sandwich, bit into it, chewed. A piece of tomato dropped on to her chest and rested on her multicoloured beads.

Rather than dwelling on why the children are in foster care, the tale offers insight into their emotions of rejection, confusion, anger and guilt. Despite the challenging subject matter, this is a positive tale, full of hope for a brighter future.

This just didn't quite work for me unfortunately. I was expecting a book similar to Gypsy from Nowhere but that wasn't quite what it was.Having had interrupted campaigns in previous seasons, Snow Leopardess has a full 2021-22 campaign, something Longsdon believes has helped significantly. He added: “When she was hurdling we said we couldn’t wait to go chasing, which was delayed by a couple of years because of injuries. And as adventure and unexpected friendship blossom, Addie is determined that both of them will know what is to be home again soon . . . The farmhouse was huge: the biggest house Addie had ever seen. Wide windows threw yellow light on to a snow-covered courtyard. Smoke curled from tall chimneys into the night. However, the Martaline mare has history to contend with if she is to secure a place in the record books on April 9.
