About this item
The year is 1875, and twelve-year-old orphan Margret and her sister, Libby, are living with the kind Mrs. Fredriksen in her sod house in rural Littleton, Colorado. Margret would be happy to stay forever, but she knows that Libby, with her basic distrust of anyone other than Margret, will have them moving soon enough. Then a tornado sweeps through, bringing with it an injured horse. Immediately Margret lays claim to the horse, naming him Flynn, nursing him back to health, and teaching herself to ride. Now more than ever, Margret yearns for some stability in her life. Somehow, shes got to find a way to convince Libby to stay so she can make Flynn hers. Powerfully written and historically accurate, this is a great addition to the series thats tailor-made for girls who love horses and historical fiction.

A few lines from yesterday's work:In the moonlight, the magicians dragged some kind of heavy bundles onto the stage.One of them rolled off and landed in a heap. Two of the magicians lifted it back up and for an instant, she saw dangling legs, a boneless arm swinging back and forth.The trilogy has been translated into German, Polish and French. I love hearing from readers in any language! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~For YOUNG READERS:The Unicorn's Secret books have gotten lovely new covers by Sandara Tang, an amazing artist based in Singapore.
