Review by Jenna
Fourteen-year-old Andrea Carter would rather ride her
beloved palomino, Taffy, than do anything else. But life on the Circle C ranch
in 1882 is busy. Between school and chores, Andi is left with little time to
prepare for Taffy’s first foaling. Then when the event finally arrives, it
nearly ends in disaster.
Returning to school keeps Andi hard-pressed to find time for
foal training. And she now has a new problem on her hands--Macy Walker, who has
been assigned as Andi’s seatmate. The new girl’s crude manners and cruel
behavior bring storm clouds into Andi’s life, as does the news that cattle
rustlers have moved into the valley.
When the cattle rustlers turn to stealing horses and strike
the Carter ranch, Andi’s only hope for recovering her precious colts lies with
Macy. Can Andi trust this wild girl? Does she have a choice?
THICK AS THIEVES is the first book in Ms. Marlow’s Circle C Milestones series. I have been
a long time fan of Ms. Marlow’s books and I was so excited when I got this one
in the mail to read.
I loved THICK AS THIEVES because it was filled with
adventure and it had valuable lessons, such as it’s better to be a friend who
sticks closer than a brother than a non-truthful one. There is also that you
can’t always judge by appearances what a person is really like.
I highly recommend THICK AS THIEVES. It’s an awesome book. I
can’t wait until I get Ms. Marlow’s next book in this series Heartbreak Trail.
172 pages. Available in paperback. 5 stars.
