Synopsis

AWARD-WINNING and BEST-SELLING AUTHOR Vie Herlocker, author and editor, “Funny...entertaining... Éclair resembles a modern-day Junie B. Jones. “Kid-friendly… page-turning fun… adventure with real-life challenges,” said Crystal Bowman, best-selling children’s book author and speaker. Kay Kline, retired first-grade teacher, "A fun chapter book with just enough magic and reality. Adults will enjoy it too!” Eccentric Grandma Stella is taking in boarders. Not the kind that talk, but the kind that neigh. Horses. When seven-year-old Éclair meets the first boarder and its owner, a girl Éclair’s age, the girl says her horse can read minds and will cast a spell on Éclair. Does the horse really have magic? If so, maybe the horse could make Éclair’s secret wish come true.

Review

READERS FAVORITE 5 STARS*****

In Eclair Meets a Gypsy by Michelle Weidenbenner, Éclair is a seven-year-old girl spending the summer with her grandmother while her mother is in the hospital and her father is away at another job. While Grandma is a little kooky, she provides a stable and loving home. 
The premise of this delightful story is plausible to me, even if the magic is internal rather than emanating from a horse.

The author does an excellent job in creating the context for the story so that the reader understands the difficulties Éclair is facing. --Charles Ashbacher
