This book giveaway is for 2 books that are for the pre-teen or teenagers that my gather connections might have, or know - or for themselves!.

Horsefeathers by Dandi Daley Mackall

The 1st one is called Horsefeathers! - 14 year old Sarah "Scoop" Coop knows horses better than she knows herself-especially Orphan, a mixed-breed mare from her Grandfather's stable. Scoop is kind of an orphan herself., She never knew her birth parents. She was raised by adoptive parents who died in a tragic accident. Now she and her brother B.C. live with Aunt Dotty. Grandfather Coop lives nearby and runs a horse stable, but Aunt Dotty is the one who helps Scoop understand about life and learn about God. When Grandad becomes unexpectedly ill, the stable becomes imperiled. Will Scoop lose Orphan? Will the business fold? How can Scoop keep the things she loves best? God offers some surprising answers.

The 2nd one is Horsefeathers' Mystery - Sarah "Scoop" Coop knows she needs to remodel and update Horsefeathers Stable to attract new business. And that takes money. Lots of it. When Scoop meets a racehorse trainer who wants Horsefeathers to look after his horses, she sees a solution to her financial woes. Scoop swallows her dislike for horseracing and takes on the boarders.

But something's wrong. Disaster after disaster strikes. Scoop, Maggie, Travis & B.C. rush to solve the mystery before Horsefeathers' reputation -and its future- are ruined.

 Along the way Sarah learns that she is rich in God's blessings.

 

This contest will run until Monday (trying to get some books out of here before we move!) Whomever leaves the most comments on this post  by Monday 2pm Central time will be the winner!

Hi Priscilla.
Heather ~of the Whippets~ M. Sep 12, 2008, 1:23pm EDT
Sound like good teen/pre-teen books.
Heather ~of the Whippets~ M. Sep 12, 2008, 1:24pm EDT
If you have as many books as I do, moving them all is going to be "fun." Good luck with the move, Priscilla.
Kelly M. Sep 12, 2008, 1:57pm EDT
Helping the cause!
JoAnn C. Sep 12, 2008, 2:01pm EDT
these sound like good books for teens
Sarah (I want points) Sep 12, 2008, 2:41pm EDT
What about those of us who like teen books?
Sarah (I want points) Sep 12, 2008, 2:41pm EDT
I find that it really is my favorite genre...
Sarah (I want points) Sep 12, 2008, 2:42pm EDT
The stories are shorter so I can read them easily enough.
Sarah (I want points) Sep 12, 2008, 2:42pm EDT
You don't usually have to worry about any kind of bad language or anything.
Sarah (I want points) Sep 12, 2008, 2:42pm EDT
Plus a lot of times they are just fun.
Sarah (I want points) Sep 12, 2008, 2:42pm EDT
Have you ever tried the Pendragon series?
Sarah (I want points) Sep 12, 2008, 2:42pm EDT
You should because they are really great adventure books for teens.
Sarah (I want points) Sep 12, 2008, 2:42pm EDT
What can I say, I'm a kid at heart.
Vivian P. Sep 12, 2008, 3:17pm EDT
I have two grand daughters who love to read

Lucky Me
anyone can win! Even if you don't have any teens/pre-teens!
Marianne R. Sep 12, 2008, 3:40pm EDT
Just passing through
Janet "Jax" B. Sep 12, 2008, 4:57pm EDT
ANgela may enjoy them, but I don't think Pher would.
Vic Needs Coffee Sep 12, 2008, 6:04pm EDT
They sound like great books.
Amanda "middle of nowhere" C. Sep 12, 2008, 6:34pm EDT
I'm just dropping by to say Hi! These do sound like good books.
Kim M. Sep 12, 2008, 9:17pm EDT
Oh Oh Oh! Me! PIck me!
Kim M. Sep 12, 2008, 9:18pm EDT
See, in the other post I wanted to help JoAnn out. This one I'm being selfish!
Kim M. Sep 12, 2008, 9:18pm EDT
Well, kinda selfish. I do want to win these.
Kim M. Sep 12, 2008, 9:18pm EDT
But they'd be for my 9 yr old niece.
Kim M. Sep 12, 2008, 9:19pm EDT
She adores horses and likes books about them.
Kim M. Sep 12, 2008, 9:20pm EDT
She's finally found some books of interest to her. She always hated to read!
Kim M. Sep 12, 2008, 9:20pm EDT
She doesn't have these ones yet though!
Kim M. Sep 12, 2008, 9:20pm EDT
Of course Auntie Kim loves to spoil her and her little sister. =)
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:32pm EDT
Hi Priscilla.
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:32pm EDT
My Nieces would love these books
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:33pm EDT
I will have to post a lot to win because I bet Kim will keep posting more than me. :)
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:33pm EDT
Kim,
How much do you plan on posting on this post?
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:34pm EDT
Priscilla,
I assume you read a lot
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:34pm EDT
I love to read
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:34pm EDT
It is really hard to find good books for teens.
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:34pm EDT
It seems there are more kids and adult books than teens
Kim M. Sep 12, 2008, 9:35pm EDT
**elbowing Connie outta the way**. I plan on posting a lot! =)
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:35pm EDT
This hurricane really scares me and I am nowhere near it.
Mariana T. Sep 12, 2008, 9:35pm EDT
Heyyyy Miz Priscilla - don't have teeny boppers hanging around here but those books sound really neat! Salud
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:35pm EDT

Oh I see you can get rough as well. LOL
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:37pm EDT

Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:38pm EDT
Priscilla,
I really don't need the books so count my comments with Kim's. I will donate them to her. But don't tell Kim. :)
Kim M. Sep 12, 2008, 9:38pm EDT
I have 3 nieces, 2 six soon to be 7 yr olds (cousins) and the 9 yr old. Then of course I have a 9 yr old nephew too.
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:39pm EDT
Kim,
I just now told Priscilla on you. :)
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:40pm EDT
I am from a large family. There are 6 of us kids. My sister has 7 kids and all my brothers have kids except one.
Kim M. Sep 12, 2008, 9:40pm EDT
LOL Connie. That is very kind of you =) My own family is very small. My nieces and nephew are from my husband's side.
Kim M. Sep 12, 2008, 9:41pm EDT
I just have 2 older brothers. My one brother has a step son. None of us has had our own kids yet.
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:42pm EDT
My husband is from a large family as well. He is the oldest of 5 kids
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:43pm EDT
My Father has 15 brothers and sisters and my mom has 11. So I come from a long line of large families.
Connie you are so sweet~
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:43pm EDT
4 of my sisters 7 kids are in college now
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:44pm EDT
Priscilla,
I was serious. I don't want the books. But Kim really does. So give my comments to her. Is that allowed????
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:45pm EDT
My sister makes them work in summer to help pay for their own tution. Her and her husband pays for their rent and three of them room together. One of them is in studing in Japan right now.
Kim M. Sep 12, 2008, 9:45pm EDT
Hubby's got 3 sibs, so it was nice coming into a larger family and having a big sis all of a sudden.
Kim M. Sep 12, 2008, 9:46pm EDT
That's a good way to go, Connie. My brothers and I all had to pay for our own educations.
sure why not Connie!
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:49pm EDT
I don't see how my sister does it. Her husband runs a sawmill but they have a really nice home, pool, large basketball court. He must really get paid a lot. LOL I would love to know what he makes. Am I bad!
Kim M. Sep 12, 2008, 9:51pm EDT
I know the feeling, Connie! Most of our siblings from both sides make quite a bit more than us, in one case more than double what we make but we're always the ones runnign back and forth.
Connie C. Sep 12, 2008, 9:52pm EDT
my family consists of
Me, husband and 2 dauthers
Ricky married with 3 kids
Karen married with 7 kids

Kim M. Sep 12, 2008, 9:55pm EDT
Thanks Connie!
This post is getting quiet.....we need some more people interested in these books~
Kim M. Sep 13, 2008, 6:34pm EDT
I'm still interested, Priscilla!
Kim M. Sep 13, 2008, 6:35pm EDT
I kept my word. I said I'd come back to check on the post. =)
Kim M. Sep 13, 2008, 6:35pm EDT

Connie C. Sep 14, 2008, 10:56pm EDT
