Whispering Back

Adam Goodfellow and Nicole Golding run a stable in the Cotswolds and specialise in curing problem horses. It's never an easy task, and often requires changing the habits of the owner as much as the horse. The pair have travelled a long way to get where they are today - but they've been united by a common passion. After a chance meeting with Monty Roberts, they gave up everything to live out their dreams and show that it's possible for ordinary people to become 'horse whisperers'. Their world is extraordinary, particularly through their unusual methods of teaching, and as you meet the cast of characters, both animals and humans, that surround them, you'll find it impossible not to be won over by their life.

Born to Whisper is full of true-to-life horse stories and adventures, and also tackles some of the burning issues in the horse world today, from a personal and informed perspective. Interwoven with the daily highs and lows of our lives as horse whisperers is the tale of our personal journey into parenthood.

Nathan O’Discin is a freshman novelist, having written numerous blogs cataloging various events of his life. Beneath the Whispering Pines retells the story of O'Discin's childhood through the eyes of Elijah, a cunning wayward youth who encounters many challenges as he experiences the world that lays beyond his small West Virginia farm. Elijah must overcome numerous tests of his faith and strict upbringing, being thrust into a cryptic foster care system that challenges him to find solace and salvation in new homes, well removed from the safety of the lush pine groves he used to roam back home. A colorful cast of characters help grow and nurture Elijah, encouraging him to escape his religious biases, and just maybe, himself.

Jeremy had to go to the funeral to honor his uncle Jim, who had taught him so much about horses and life in general. He knew somehow he had to share the knowledge with others, especially what Jim had taught him about horse whispering, a talent that only six other people had in the states at the time. Jeremy also wondered about what doors this talent would open and where it might lead him. A man of influence was how Jeremy remembered Jim. Even in his death, Jim was bigger than life. The way he dealt with people and horses had been a gift sent from heaven above. Jeremy knew from all of Jim’s teachings that he could be one of the best horse whisperers ever. Jeremy only hoped that he could prove his talents when he tried out for the foreman position at the E&J Stud Farm owned by Esmira, a beautiful independent woman used to having things her way. Both Jeremy and Esmira were not prepared for what would happen if love was thrown into the mix.

The two-time Caldecott Honor artist shares “a sumptuously illustrated fable about the magic of storytelling and the power of imagination” (School Library Journal, starred review). When a little girl receives a curious book filled only with pictures, a whisper urges her to supply the words she cannot see. As the pages turn, her imagination takes flight and she discovers that the greatest storyteller of all might come from within. Pamela Zagarenski’s debut as an author reminds us that we each bring something different to the same book. "Surreal, staggering mixed-media paintings make traveling across such beautifully varied and bizarre storyscapes exhilarating."—Kirkus, starred review
