I really like the book A Horse For Kate, by Mirallee Ferrell. A 12-year-old girl named Kate wants to have a horse. When she and her new friend Tori discover a horse all alone in a pasture, they wonder who owns it. The reason I like this book is because it’s 1) fast paced, 2) interesting, and 3) it encourages probity. It’s an awesome book for tween girls!
It’s the first book in the book series Horses and Friends. Throughout the series there are scenes with Kate’s autistic little brother, Pete. Kate and Tori are nice to him.
