What starts out as a leisurely trail ride turns into a terrifying afternoon when Alex and Leslie see a plume of smoke rising in the trees. After saving the neighbor's horses from a horrible fate, the two teens must run through the burning woods and get back to Green Meadow before it's too late. On the way, they encounter a strange horse wandering through the woods by itself, and it follows them home. Leslie soon becomes attached to "Spark", when she can't find his owner... but will she get to keep him, or will someone come forward to claim the horse she has come to love?
BUBBA TO THE RESCUE is the second book in Ms. Walker's series of Green Meadow Riders fiction teen, tween and children books. BUBBA GOES NATIONAL is the first book in the series. The books are not dependent upon each other, but they do tell a continuing story as well.

This is a sequel to Bubba's National Championship story. Not nearly as good as the first. It certainly leaves the door open for a continuing series, but the tough thing about using it as a segue is that it isn't doing much other than building a 'fluff' storyline.Product details

Bubba to the Rescue Green Meadow Riders Book 2 edition by Jennifer Walker Children eBooks Reviews
Bubba to the Rescue (Green Meadow Riders), Walker's second installment in the young horse lover collection, hits the ground at a full gallop, as the story sweeps readers up in its path.
The novel was written for young teen readers, with drawings by illustrator Debra Torrico. Still, the story may appeal to older horse-loving readers as well. Although this book is a sequel, the story also stands alone for readers who may have missed the first book.

In this second book in the Green Meadow Riders series, Leslie continues to learn, through her work with horses, valuable lessons that all young people can take with them responsibility, doing the right thing when the right thing is hard to do, being a good friend, and learning how to be part of a blended family.
In age-appropriate ways, Ms. Walker touches on tough subjects, like death, abusive relationships, paying debts owed, all within a great story about Bubba, our family horse character from book one, and a new horse at Green Meadow who comes to them in an exciting but dangerous way.
This book stands alone, in that readers can enjoy it without having read the first book of the series. However, the first book is excellent too, and we, as readers, get a better understanding of the characters and the horses involved in the story and get a bigger picture of the Green Meadow universe.
As an adult, I loved the Bubba books by Jennifer Walker, so horse-loving girls of all ages should enjoy them too.
Bubba to the Rescue is book two of the Green Meadow series for young adults, by Jennifer Walker. If you read Bubba Goes National first, you will have an appreciation for the characters, but it is not necessary to read the books in order.
Both books are perfect gifts for tweens through young teens. In an age when there is so much emphasis on paranormal activities, goofy behavior, fantasy, and urban lifestyles, it's refreshing to find a book that kids are sure to enjoy which promotes hard work, good ethics, a moral lifestyle, and family relationships. Walker is not afraid to take on difficult topics, but in doses which young readers can process.
Bubba is Leslie Clark's Arabian horse (she named him Lucky, but her father calls him Bubba). In book one, she found the horse for sale as a castoff and was able to purchase him, and then ride him to a national championship. Book two begins with Leslie and her boyfriend, Alex, trail riding. They see smoke and discover a forest fire which is threatening a neighbor's ranch. Leslie and Alex save those horses, then ride furiously back to Green Meadow to check on their own ranch. However, during the ride, Bubba is injured.
This is the set-up for the rest of the story. It's exciting and believable. It's also the reason for what I think is the only real problem with this book. Bubba, the title horse, and one we've come to love in book one, is mostly sidelined for the rest of this volume. Instead, the book focuses on a horse that followed Leslie and Alex home during the fire. This horse had apparently been abandoned to the woods, and is in need of a lot of care. Leslie falls in love with the new horse, whom they name Spark, and the book is the story of how they find Spark's owner, and whether Leslie will get to keep Spark. Although Bubba was put out to pasture for a while to heal, I wanted Leslie to care enough to go interact with him more often.
That said, the book was otherwise excellent.
There are a number of serious themes developed (at least to some extent) in this book. Sometimes, I thought perhaps there were too many, but kids have really complex lives these days, so I doubt it will faze most readers. Some of these topics are injury to a beloved animal, adjusting to a new step-parent, early dating relationships, unhealthy controlling relationships, and father / teen daughter relationships.
Although the plot line is the story of Spark, the character development is at least as important as the plot. Many of the chapters are devoted to Leslie's home life with her new step-mother, Helen, or to her friendships. Of course the whole setting of running a stable and caring for the horses is the necessary background for the series.
Bubba to the Rescue
Anyone who loves horses will like this book. It's perfect for ages 10 and up (possibly younger), and adults may enjoy it as a light read.
One of Walker's gifts is the natural way she describes all the "horsey" elements. Her personal experience as a horsewoman shows through loud and clear.
On a 10 point scale, I give this book a 9. Just one point off for abandoning Bubba (even temporarily) for Spark so early in the series.
This is a sequel to Bubba's National Championship story. Not nearly as good as the first. It certainly leaves the door open for a continuing series, but the tough thing about using it as a segue is that it isn't doing much other than building a 'fluff' storyline.
