Saddlebags (The Saddle Club, Book 42)

Rating:
Summary: Good, but getting OLD
Review: I generally like the Saddle Club books. They're funny and good for light reading. Sometimes, you even feel like you could slap Veronica, the bratty little rich girl. But has anyone noticed that they sort of repeat themselves? In this book, Saddlebags, the three main characters, Stevie, Carol, and Lisa, go out to their friend Kate's dude ranch with their parents. Their parents are genuine dudes and embarrass the girls. Then there is a storm and the parents are caught on an island. And it's -- SADDLE CLUB TO THE RESCUE! I'm all for this kind of plot, but to me, it seems as if they save someone or something in every book, or at least get an award or help someone greatly. The plot kind of repeats itself. And whenever they have a birthday, they immediatly revert back to being the age they used to be in the next book. Even though I think the plot has been a little worn out, if you read this book on its own (and not with the 90 other Saddle Club books), I think you will find it enjoyable.
