Heartland #13 (Heartland)
  
A fierce flu strain is infecting Heartland's horses, and, despite Amy and Ty's fervent efforts to treat and isolate those infected, the flu spreads to other horses and the vet quarantines Heartland. To make matters worse, the late summer heat heightens the tension. Ben is frustrated when Red starts to exhibit flu symptoms because their show season will be cut short. Ty thinks Ben is being selfish, and Amy feels caught in the middle. Then, just as some horses start to get better, a tornado devastates the valley. When the storm is over, everyone is forced to gain a new perspective.

Ty tries to save dylan a show jumper, when a tree crashes into the barn. Dylan has to be put down and ty is in a coma. Amy has to much work to do, and she need Ty back at heartland.

This is one of the most dramatic books of the series. Amy and Ty, with a tornado rapidly approaching, try to rescue some of the horses from an endangered barn. But when the roof starts to fall with only one horse left inside, Amy is the only one who gets out OK. Dylan, the trapped horse, must be put down, and Ty is left in a coma. Brooke puts this book together in the way that it leaves you hanging on to her every word in this exciting book. One of my favorites in the series. Five stars all the way!

I love this book! This is my all time favorite book! In school, you will not see me without a "Heartland" book. I've read all of the books in order and I'm just DYING to read 19 and 20. I'm trying to get the WHOLE COLLECTION! I'm a HUGE HUGE HUGE fan of the "Heartland" Series. Oh, and Lauren, don't change the title of the books please. They are mysterious and they just MAKE you want to read the books. I agree that there's not much action or anything in the book, but what do u expect when it's about horses? I wasn't expecting a tornado,or Ty going to the hospital in a coma, or stuff like that. That's why it's my all time favorite book. I started it at 10:00 pm and didn't stop reading it until 6:20 am. It's such a thriller. I can't WAIT to read the other "Heartland" books. Please,Please keep writing them Lauren. They're great books and I'm gonna support you all the way!!!!!


ENORMOUS Heartland Fan,
Olivia D.

Heartland is a ranch that takes care of abused or frightened horse by helping them learn to trust humans again. Amy and Ty run the ranch. Things seem to be going well for the ranch workers until an outbreak of the flu hits the horses. Amy, Ty, and Ben work extremely hard trying to keep the flu from spreading to all the horses. Even though they work hard to isolate the sick horses, the flu continues to spread throughout Heartland. Tension builds and tempers flare causing Ty and Ben to have an argument. Ben is upset because his horse Red can't leave Heartland to compete and eventually begins showing signs of the flu. Ty thinks Ben is selfish and Amy feels torn between them. Everyone calms down and works around the clock to care for the sick horses. The sickness seems to be letting up and things get back to normal at Heartland until a devastating tornado hits the ranch changing everyone's lives forever.

Heartland is a place where abused and frightened horses can be helped to learn to trust people again. It's located in the hills of Virginia. This book mainly takes place on Heartland's grounds, all though Amy visits Storm, a horse, at another farm owned by Nick Halliwell. During the beginning of the book, Amy goes outside to get Candy, a horse that normally loves to play. But this time, she seemed "lifeless." It turned out that Candy had the flu. From this point on, everything just about goes down hill.
In no time other horses came down with the flu, including Dylan, Nick Halliwell's horse. Amy, Ty, and Ben worked extra hard to meet the sick horse's needs. The stable hands put them in the barn, away from the healthy horses. Before the infection gets to be too much, Amy visits her friend Daniel at Nick Halliwell's. She checks on Storm while she's there. Out of no where, Daniel kisses her, which isn't good because Amy and Ty are a couple.
Further on, towards the end of the book, a strom brews. Amy and Ty round up most of the horses and put as many as they can in the stable. Then, Amy's Grandfather made everyone go into the basement when he realises that the roaring winds and buzzing noise is signs of a tornado. He was correct! And so, Amy freaks out about the horses that are still in the barn, so she blasts out into the windy open with Ty right behind her. Thankfully, the tornado was gone, but Amy was torn when she saw a branch plummeted into the barn.
They led the horses out untill only Dylan and Candy. Amy's Grandpa said that if the roof started to move then the two would have to get out. Amy got Candy out OK, but Dylan started freaking out and kicked at the back of his stall, which caused the whole barn to shake. Ty looked at Amy, and they decided that the beams weren't stable. Ty tried to hurry up, but Dylan put forth his way on the door, causing the roof to collasp. Amy was shoked, and her world darkened...
Help was soon on the way. When Amy woke up, she told her family her story. When the paramedics found Ty, he was unconcious, but alive. They took him and Amy to the doctor. When Amy returned home, she found out that Dylan was put out of his misery if a hurt leg. Amy sadly called Nick to tell the news.
Amy visited Ty the next day and soon found out that he went in a coma and the doctor was unsure if he'd ever wake up. The book ends with Amy by Ty's side at the hospital.

I recomend this book to people who like cliff-hangers. This book will leave you hanging after every chapter, despretly wanting to read on!

These books are too good! My favorite one is A Season Of Hope (#17). My least favorite was Sooner or Later (#12). I have read this whole series in exactly one month. I'm not kidding! They are just that good. I try to read other books now but none of them are nearly as good as the Heartland series. I want to be just like Amy when I grow up.
In case you were wondering "New Beginnings" and "From This Day On" are both coming out in March. Lauren Brooke is a teriffic author. Please don't stop writing. My life is not complete without Heartland!!!!
