The inspiring novel about real life princess and equestrienne Haya of
Jordan.
Princess Haya loves her family more than anything--especially her mother
who brings light and happiness into King Hussein's house. So when Queen
Alia is killed in a tragic accident, Princess Haya is devastated.
Knowing how unhappy she is and how much she loves horses, Haya's father,
King Hussein, gives her a special present: a foal of her very own. And
this foal changes Princess Haya's world completely.
Set in an exotic locale where royalty is real, this story of a
determined modern-day princess is both beautiful and awe-inspiring.
Perfect for fans of Black Beauty, Misty of Chincoteague and anyone
who wonders what it's like to be a real princess.
Praise for THE PRINCESS AND THE FOAL:
"Empowering and vigorous, this is a story sure to please princess fans,
horse fans and, yes, even tomboys."--Kirkus Reviews
"This real princess's story is great and this book provides a positive
and powerful story, especially for adolescent girl readers who choose to
saddle up for the ride."--VOYA Magazine
"Horse enthusiasts will devour Gregg's engaging novel about Jordanian
Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, inspired by the real-life princess who
became an Olympic equestrian....Gregg's greatest strength is in
detailing the deep, sensual bond that can form between a human and a
horse, but the sympathetic protagonist and a setting rarely seen in
middle-grade fiction make this an inspiring read for any
reader."--Publishers Weekly
