Tales of Sasha 2: Journey Beyond the Trees

Review written by 8yo reader:I love this book! It is so awesome. I love the characters. I couldn't what to read more! I can't wait to start book 3!

My 6 and 3 year olds love this series!

Great story, my daughter loves it

Picking up where the first book left off, Sasha, a young filly, has just discovered that she has wings, and that she was adopted by her parents. Naturally, this creates a great deal of curiosity for Sasha about where she came from, especially when her teacher tells her that he once knew a horse that could fly. Sasha sets off with her best friend, Wyatt, through the forest that she's been told her whole life to avoid. The forest rejects Wyatt, but opens up for her, encouraging her to continue her journey with Wyatt holding tightly to her tail. The black-and white illustrations are adorable and bring Sasha and her friends and family to life nicely. The text is broken up by these illustrations making this a nice book for young readers just getting into chapter books. A series that is bound to be popular with horse-loving youngsters.

I don’t really care for this series as much as I thought I would. I thought it was going to be cute for my horse lover. I didn’t realize from looking at the covers that it’s actually about flying horses, not regular horses. It has several elements of mysticism, which I don’t really care for in my children’s books and kind of freak my daughter out ( the page with all the weird eyes). There is a lot of descriptive language about beautiful surroundings, but the black and white pictures are dull and don’t complement the writing in my opinion. There are better series out there for this age group. I don’t feel compelled to buy the rest of the series.
