"Last night I finished reading your Jill and the Lost Ponies. I can honestly say that It is one of the best sequels I’ve read... I love the way you tie in previous events from the Jill books and the way you weave the various characters into the plot. I love the way Jill talks to the reader, the comments she makes and the language she uses, because they are all so “Jill-like” and feel authentic to such an extent that it really feels as if RF is actually writing it... Thank you for a wonderful book." (Kate)"I read Jill and the Lost Ponies, and it was brilliant, thank you! It completely brought Jill back. I haven't enjoyed anything that much for a long time."

Or so they think.
