But this summer camping trip reveals their true power the horses and their young riders must travel centuries into the past to save the village of their ancestors. Uncovering amazing abilities, girls and horses work together to challenge a ruthless enemy, rescue a young princess, and realize their destinies include a prophecy only they can fulfill. Will the girls develop the trust and friendship necessary to battle together? Are the horses going to survive a battle plan sure to end in disaster? Can the young princess be saved before the evil chieftain destroys her? Can true love cross the distance of seven hundred years? Their very lives will depend on the magic only the Ice Horses can provide, and the courage hidden within their hearts. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A charming fantasy for preteen readers who have a love for horsesAn enthusiasm for horses is healthy, but some girls got much more than they bargained for. "Ariel's Journey: The Icehorse Adventures" is the story of a group of friends gong on a camping trip with the famous and hardy horses of Iceland. Their riding and camping trip soon goes awry as they are tossed back in time by nearly a millennium. The girls are faced with an overwhelming challenge and conflict, facing possible death and potentially something more scary - love. "Ariel's Journey" is a charming ... Read More Rating:  - A good fantasy read!Reviewed by Avery Largent (age 9) for Reader Views (12/08) "Ariel's Journey" by Doug Kane and Christy Wood is a good book about a few girls who go on an adventure, back 800-years before their time, while trying to make amends with each other. This book was interesting and written well, and the plot had many details and was complicated. The characters were likeable and well-developed, and my only complaint is that the characters seemed to start enjoying each other entirely too fast. ... Read More Rating: - A horse is a horse, of course, of courseAs the once popular theme song goes: "A horse is a horse, of course, of course, And no one can talk to a horse, of course, Unless, of course, the horse, of course, Is the famous Mr. Ed!" Well, move over Mr. Ed, because there's a new breed in town, and they're tough as nails and a lot cuter too. This book will have you thinking twice 'bout horses from the land of Ice fluffy, stocky, not too tall and not like Mr. Ed at ... Read More Rating:  - Too much magic would be needed to convert young adolescent girls into sword wielding killersIn terms of level and topic, this book is targeted at girls in their early teen years. However, I am uncertain as to how broad the appeal will be. Five young girls, Emily, Andrea and Laura who are in their early teens and the younger Kim and Darcy go on a great adventure. All of the girls enjoy riding horses and in the beginning, Andrea is a bit of a snob to the other girls. Their rivalry is typical of early adolescent girls and it even reached the point where there is a physical battle. ... Read More Rating: - PERFECT for my niece!I gave this book to my horse-loving niece and she loved it so much I decided to read a few pages for myself. I was hooked. This book held my "grown woman" attention and was a huge hit with the 13 year olds as well. The characters are so well written and the dialogue is true to life. I really enjoyed the story and recommend it for both kids and adults.
