One Eyed Jack


One Eyed Jack is a most enjoyable, heartwarming story of a young girl and the horse she falls in love with. The horse, Jack lost his eye in a terrible accident, and because he was a show horse, his value plummeted. Lauren, a ten year old who competes in horse shows, is there when the vet must remove Jack's eye, and desperately wants to save him from certain death. She can't afford to buy him, even though he is worth much less than he was. However, the owner, grateful for the help she gave the vet, and seeing she loves Jack, gifts her with the horse.

Lauren is sure Jack can learn to compete, even though he only has one eye. This story is about their journey together, and Jack's eventual triumph over his injury. The story is fast paced and well written. A must read for young adults and adults alike.
