Gee Whiz

De: Jane Smiley

Narrado por: Angela Goethals

Gee Whiz is a striking horse, and only part of that is because of his size. He is tall, but also graceful, yet his strides big but precise. At the same time, he keeps his eye on things, not as if he's suspicious, but as if he's curious. When Abby is confronted with an onslaught of reminders of just how little of the world she has seen, she finds herself connecting with Gee Whiz's calm and curious nature, and his desire to know more.

Her brother receives a draft notice to Vietnam, her friends return for the holidays with stories from their boarding school in Southern California, and the wise, lovable Brother Abner opens her eyes with tales of his many years spent traveling. At the same time, her beloved Jack and True Blue are both faced with opportunities to broaden their horizons away from the ranch. Will she let them go, with hopes that she might one day do the same?

Story line

I was not done listening. I loved these easy listeners as I’m always on the go and I usually choose an audio book over the radio. I was not done hearing about Abby jack and Gee Wiz and Danny.

Very well written

If you expect a lot of action, then I don't recommend this book. But it is very well written and easygoing, perfect for a bedtime story.

good horse book for kids and adults

my eight year old daughter and I enjoyed listening to the whole book series I would highly recommend

Tranquil country life in the 50”s

I loved immersing myself in a dream like story of life as I imagined it as a child

Does not load!

Does not load all chapters, this was very upsetting! I waited a few days to see if it was just a glitch but it would only load chapter one.
