Holly the Flying Horse is the fourth book in the Magical Rescue Vets series by Melody Lockhart. Due out 1st May 2022 from Arcturus, it's 128 pages and will be available in paperback and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy interactive table of contents as well as interactive links and references throughout. I've really become enamored of ebooks with interactive formats lately.
This
is a well written and engaging story full of friendship, adventure,
and the care and nurturing of magical creatures. It's written as a
chapter book and is appropriate for all ages, but the intended age range
is approximately 7-10 years. The language is very clean and there's no
violence. Best friends Rosie and and Kat are helpful, intelligent, and relatable youngsters and kids will enjoy following their adventures
The art by Morgan Huff
is line drawn in monochrome, but suits the story very well and is nicely
rendered. The book is generously illustrated throughout (in B&W).
The resolution and denouement are satisfying and well done. This series only contains 4 books at present, but promises to be one which will be perfect for binge reading. I would've devoured these when I was 7 years old.
Four stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
