Reviews for The Georges and the Jewels
7 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As with her adult novels I found myself drawn into the story, learning more and caring more about horses than I ever have and feeling Abby's struggles with peers, parents and life. Not sure if the 60's are considered historical fiction now but except for some references to events, the story is timeless.
