"I think
[Midnight Mystery] is a challenging book and that's
what I really like about it."
"The ending is wonderful!
I cried tears of joy, of grief and I-don't-know-what!
A wonderful book for someone who is in need of a good, Christian, horse, mystery
book. It also teaches that everything can and will change around
you, but that God and His love for you will
never falter!" ~ HorseCrazy
"I love this
book! I have a black, miniature horse stallion.
He, too, is named Midnight. I taught
him to sit, rear, play dead, wave hello and all the other tricks in the
book! I even took my horse, Midnight, to
school to do a show!"
~ ^_^ Desiree ^_^
"I am on the 9th chapter
of 'Midnight Mystery' and am really enjoying it so far.
Gabrielle is really mean. I wonder if she and Summer are related.
I still have yet to get books 7 and 8, but will soon!
I love this series! I let my friend borrow
'Wild Thing' and I bet that she will also love the series.
Happy reading!" ~ Black Mare
"Dear Winnie
-
I love your books! I learn things to help me teach my horse tricks.
'Midnight Mystery' was a cool book!"
~ Your faithful reader,
Horses Rock
"[Midnight
Mystery] was a great book. It hooked me when she
accused someone and then found out that it
wasn't actually them! The mystery and the book are great for some laughs and fun!!"
"I LUV this book!
I felt so sorry for poor Ramon and Midnight.
I also felt sorry for Winnie, when her dad brought a woman home!
I think it's neat that at the last minute, Nickers decided to bow!"
~ Horse Crazy Brianna
"[Midnight
Mystery] was great, but why did you make that
beautiful horse a circus horse?"
[Editor's
Note:] Well, Dandi tries to show all
kinds of possible situations that a horse might
be in, so that people think about how they're
treating them.
"I think this is my favorite book, because of the beautiful horse.
My friend has a horse and he looks just like
Midnight. His name is Webster."
"I loved this book.
It is my favorite, but I haven't read all of
them yet! I have a question - Does Winnie have a
crush on Ramon and does Ramon like Winnie?"
[A Note from
Dandi:] Glad you liked the book!
I think that Winnie likes Ramon as a
friend. She's a little too busy for
anything more than that right now. But,
you can never have too many friends, right?
"I love 'Midnight Mystery'!
It really made me mad that someone was doing all
of those things to poor Midnight and Ramon,
too! I started getting really confused, as Winnie tried
to figure out who was doing it, and I was really surprised that it was the
Colonel!" ~ Horse Crazy Brianna
"I loved reading
'Midnight Mystery'! Morgan horses
rock! Good work - keep writing!"
"After I got done reading
'Midnight Mystery', I realized that the lesson
that it taught was not to give up on your pets."
~ Sheila
"Hi, Dandi! I LUV 'Midnight Mystery'!
I think black horses are some of the most beautiful of all.
I got so mad when the colonel started doing all those things to poor
Midnight - just because he wanted to keep Ramon with him.
I was also shocked when Mr. Willis was with
Madeline - on his wife's birthday. I felt so sorry for Winnie.
I LUV this book! Write more! Thanx!"
~ Horse Crazy Brianna
"Winnie - I went to a horseshow and it was SO
awesome! My friend won 4th place with her
Paint, Commanche. He is SO gorgeous!
I was like freaking out every time he passed me!
Also, he kept flaring his nostrils and blowing at me every time I went up to
him and he continually bumped my chest and stomach
with his nose. What was he saying? Well, gotta
get..."
~ HorseCrazy
[A Note from the Winnie Team:] Glad
you had a great time at the show! Well, as
long as Commanche was gentle about it, he was
probably saying, "Hi There - nice to meet
you" and/or hoping for a treat. If
you were his trainer, you might need to look at
the situation a little differently. Frank
Bell would probably say that a little more
training was needed, so that Commanche would
respect your space. But, as a guest, it's
probably better just to have fun with it!
"[Midnight Mystery] is a truly wonderful book!
I love the ending... I cried so hard!"
~ HorseCrazy
"I really enjoyed reading this book.
I enjoyed it more, because I like all animals.
You're doing a dandy job on the Winnie books.
I can't wait to read the others. Keep up the good work."
~ Animal Crazy
"I loved this book, because you were able to
combine horses and mystery. Not one other book that I read could do that.
Thanks!"
"[Midnight Mystery] is so AWESOME!
I really like Ramon and Midnight Mystery.
I also like how Colonel loved Ramon so much that he tried to keep him.
Keep on writing such good books!" ~ Elegant Creature
"I loved
'Midnight Mystery'. It was so good. I like
mysteries and horse stories and this has
both! I really like the idea behind the book, too.
It's cool how she was in the circus! I really liked
this book a lot and I hope there will be more like it!
:)"
"Winnie...
I love this book, because it really taught me not to jump to
conclusions. You really need to know that when you have 8 brothers and sisters getting into your stuff and ruining it!
I wish I could write such awesome books, but my stories
always sound really dumb. Also, thanks for the great advice
on horse names!" ~ Love, Eowyn HorseCrazy!
[Editor's
Note:] Ah... you're learning patience
early in life. That's a very good
thing! And, I'm sure that you write some
wonderful stories. Why don't you send one
in, via the Your Thoughts form and I'll take a
look at it! With eight brothers and
sisters, I'm sure that you've had some good
experiences to add to a story.
"I think that
Midnight is a great and beautiful horse."
"I love this book.
I think that Ramon is a sweetheart.
I also think that Winnie and Ramon are a perfect match.
I love Midnight Mystery so much. I could imagine him
performing those tricks perfectly."
"I thought it was so neat that Winnie
got to be a greater in the circus!"
"I love this book!!!
Sometimes I feel just like Gabrielle. I also have a question: I have a 2-year-old horse named Chakotay that I am training and he won't lunge.
He comes right back into me. If I have something in between us so that he can't come in, he won't move.
Thanks for your help." ~ Katie
[Editor's
Note:] Good question, but the answer
is a little too long to post on this page.
Here's a link to a good article on how to gently
guide your horse through this process, using
several steps over time: http://www.equi-sense.com/articles/longlines.html
Be sure to take note of the safety
precautions! Some horses get nervous
having the line under their tail or between
their legs, so be sure to get Chakotay used to
that first.
"I love this book!
I think it was cruel of the colonel to be so desperate to keep Ramon with him as to do those things to poor Midnight!
At first, I actually thought it was Gabrielle DeBlonde who was doing it all, but the end surprised
me!" ~ Horse Lover Brianna
"I liked this book
a lot, because it had so many twists and turns in the mystery which made
it special!!"
"This was a great book!
Winnie goes through a lot of things knowing that her dad is going to miss her own
mom's birthday, but then he shows up. I am a
horse lover and I loved this book!!" ~
Love,
Ashleigh
"I love this book!
It's my favorite book in the whole world!"
~
Mare
"I LOVE your books.
But, I really like 'Midnight Mystery' because Winnie and Nickers get to be in the circus.
Please keep writing more books!" ~ Horse Lover
"I read this book and I was very pleased
with how you talk about God. I also believe
in God as my personal Lord and Savior. I
love this book and I have #4, #5, and #6.
My parents got them for me for Christmas. The only
thing I don't agree with is that Catman has long hair. The Bible
says women are to have long hair and men are to have
short hair. And, tight dresses in book #5,
'Unhappy Appy'. I do not agree with that.
May God bless you and the books." ~ LOVE,
Rebekah
"Dear Dandi
- I loved this book! The ending is such a
surprise! You have a true gift for writing."
~ Born-to-be-horse-lover, Megan
"Dear Dandi
- I really liked this book. I could relate
to it a lot. Keep up the good work!"
~ Sierra
"Dandi & Winnie!!
Love your books, especially this one! Wish
I could meet you guys! Hey, got any ideas on names for a chestnut gelding?
I wrote a story for school, but I still cannot think of a
name! The girl, Miranda, has always wanted a
horse and she finally gets one, but she'll have to get rid of him if her dad
doesn't come back by her b-day! Thanks for
setting such a good example in writing!"
~E-HorseCrazy-G~
[Editor's
Note:] Here are a few ideas for a
name, but I'm sure that you'll think of lots
more, based on the story and the horse's
personality: Atlas, Chestnut, Chakotay,
Chataigne (means Chestnut), Czar, Dream Weaver,
Philippe.
"I think
that this was the best book in the series.
The whole series was great! I read all of
the books twice. This was a great mystery book,
too."
"I liked this book
- it was good!"
"That was sweet of the Colonel to try and keep Ramon
there, but he kinda didn't do it in the right
way. I think Winnie has a right to be upset that her dad came home with a
women - especially on her mom's birthday!
He shouldn't have brought her home on his wife's
birthday."
"Winnie - You are so lucky!
My dad does not even really like horses. I liked how you found out who was doing all that cruel stuff to Midnight Mystery!
I don't think I liked how your dad brought that
woman home, but he is kinda lonely. Don't
worry - I would feel the same way if I was in your shoes!
Keep up the good work!" ~ Arab Lover
"This book is great!
The fun part is when Midnight Mystery rears up high.
I LOVED it! It was wonderful!" ~
Sarah
"Excellent!
I always love a book with horses and mystery!
Plus, I love a surprise ending!"
"Dear Winnie
- I really enjoyed this book." ~ Arabian Horse Girl
"I really liked the book
'Midnight Mystery'. It was the best one so far, I think.
I haven't read books 5 and 6 yet. Where can you get them?"
[Editor's
Note:] Thanks very much! Our
Tyndale web site has a Store
Locator feature, where you can search for either a store
near you or an online store where our products
are sold.
"I have a horse that looks kind of like this horse!
His name is Cobalt. He is a black
stallion!" ~ Mary-Kate
"So far I think this book is great.
It is better than the other horse book I am reading.
I wish I had a horse like Nickers. This is probably my second favorite book
out of all of the books that I have ever read."
"I liked this book, but
maybe you could write about a night when Winnie goes to
sleep and Nickers is stolen. And finally
she gets her back!!"
"Dear Winnie
- I think 'Midnight Mystery' is a good Winnie the Horse Gentler book.
It is one of the best books in the series."
~ Love from Pony Person
"I thought this book was really great!
I really enjoyed reading it!"
"I liked how
in 'Midnight Mystery' there was mystery, yet it still had a lot to
do with horses in the mean time."
"Dear Dandi
- I love the 'Midnight Mystery' book. I finished
it two days. Now I want to read every book, but the problem is
that I don't have the money 'cause I'm 12 and I
don't know where to get them."
[Editor's
Note:] Hey - maybe you can find the
books at your local library. You can also
find the books online or at your local book
store. You'll find some helpful resources
on the Tyndale Store
Locator page.
"Thanks for your idea, but everywhere
that I search for Winnie books, all I can find
are books 1 and 2."
[Editor's
Note:] Hi! Try www.amazon.com
- I just did a search using "Winnie the
Horse Gentler" and it showed me all six
books. Happy reading!
"[Midnight
Mystery] was great and now I want 2 teach horses tricks!!!
Dandi, u did the best but 1 thing - plz make more!"
~ Shannon
"I couldn't put this book down at all
- that's how good it was!" ~ Goldenpasofino
"I just reread
'Midnight Mystery'. It was great, as it was the first time I read
it... I thought it was great that Dandi used some of her horses as character horses in her Horsefeathers series!
Keep up the great work Dandi!"
"This book has really been
very interesting! I just love sitting down and reading chapter after chapter.
My sister and I have fun trying to guess who the mystery
person is!"
"I haven't read the whole book, but so far it's been great!
Gabrielle DeBlonde is as bad as Summer Spidell!
But I'm still not sure that it was her who put the high energy food in Midnight's food
bin. I'm going to read the rest of it and find
out!!" ~ Brianna
"It's
great! It taught me a lot about not judging others
'til I know the facts."
"I loved this book!
It was totally cool! I think you need more (good) girls in it, though.
Winnie needs a best friend who is really crazy about
horses and helps her. It would be cool for Winnie's new friend to have a
palomino that needs gentling really bad. She should be new
in town, too. And possibly from Sweden.
Maybe the new girl wants to be a famous jockey. I hope you like my ideas." ~ The Horse Lover
"I love
[Midnight Mystery] and I think that the horse is
beautiful."
"[Midnight Mystery] was the bomb!
I love this book. I LOVE WINNIE BOOKS!
I also am crazy about horses." ~ Megan
"This was great book."
"I think this book is so cool because my
favorite kinds of books are Christian, mystery
and animal books! I was wondering if you could make a character that has
blond curly hair, loves horses, and becomes a great friend
to Winnie. Maybe he could be a boy her age
named Shane."
"I love it!
These are my favorite books!"
"Winnie,
I love how you worked with Midnight Mystery and his owner! And then
found the culprit to the mystery of Midnight's strange behavior."
"I loved this book
- it took my breath away. It was filled with exciting chapters, not
too mention that I read it faster then any
other book. Your books are the best!" ~ Elizabeth
"This book was very creative, with the background being a circus.
I really love these books, because I love horses and these books also teach me
a lot about them."
"[Midnight Mystery] was a great book!
It makes Winnie a good horse gentler AND detective!
Keep up the good work, Mrs. Mackall!" ~
Elisabeth
"Hi! I really liked this book!!
It rocked!" ~ Lizzie
"It is the best book
I ever read!"
"I loved this book.
It was so good. I've only gotten to the last
chapter so far, bur it is the best book I've ever read in my whole entire life!"
~ From a real big fan,
Acie
"Dear Winnie,
'Midnight Mystery' was cool, and the circus sounds like lots of fun, but I think you should be nice to
Summer and tell her about Jesus. Maybe she'll get saved."
~ Jenny
"I do not like your books
- I LOVE 'em! have read most of your books.
I've just finished 'Midnight Mystery'.
It is awesome. I think every horse lover
should read them." ~ Your friend Tamra
"Hey Dandi, your books rock!
They are really going to help me when I get my horse in a month.
I was looking for some horse books to buy, but when I saw that these were
Christian, I had to buy them. They're great!
Please keep on adding more to the series." ~
Horse-mad
