Soul Riders is a tween aged fantasy book series based on the successful Star Stable game. The adventures  written by Helena Dahlgren revolve around friendship, horses and magic.

The Soul Riders series tells the story of four young girls known as the Soul Riders (Anne, Lisa, Alex and Linda.) Destiny chooses riders to join the special sisterhood and embark on a dangerous adventure to save the world. The books emphasize the struggle between light and dark, good and bad. Can the Soul Riders succeed against an ancient evil being who wields great dark power? No spoilers here!

The first two books in the series, Jorvik Calling and The Legend Awakens are the stuff that tween girls’ dreams are made of.  After all, who doesn’t crave adventure, friendship and a loyal pet-companion who truly gets you? The Soul Riders books promote sisterhood and show that every girl can be a hero in her own way.

If you are looking for a new book for the kids to enjoy over winter break Soul Riders: Jorvik Calling is one that will start a grand adventure and open new worlds to the imagination. The games add another facet to the magical world ensuring endless hours of fun. After reading the books to review I gave them to my niece. She devoured Jorvik Calling, is about to start The Legend Awakens and can’t wait for the third book in the trilogy.
