About this item
Bramble, a persnickety but lovable horse, and Maggie, her patient owner, build an even stronger friendship as they brave the surprises of autumn.In their third adventure, Bramble and Maggie explore a new season together - fall! Leaves crunch underfoot. Acorns ping off rooftops. It all makes Bramble feel wonderfully spooky. But Bramble's frisky-pretend-scary gait makes Maggie jumpy, and soon Bramble really is nervous. There are alarming new sights and sounds everywhere, like Mr. Dingle's scarecrow. When Maggie takes a fall, will she want to get back in the saddle? And when Halloween comes, can Maggie trust Bramble to brave the tricks and lead them both safely to the treats?
About the Author
Jessie Haas grew up on a small farm in Vermont. A horse-lover from birth, she read every horse book in all the local libraries, and having run out, realized that someone needed to write more. She sold a middle-grade horse story, Keeping Barney, to Greenwillow Books a month before graduating from Wellesley. Many more horse stories followed, for readers of all ages. A lifelong love of history led to more books, including two histories of her hometown, Westminster, Vt., and a world history told in poems about horses.As a Vermonter, Haas has always loved Morgan horses, and currently owns two beautiful mares, Robin and Martha. She lives with husband and fellow author Michael J. Daley in a tiny off-grid cabin they built themselves--36 years and counting. With Michael, she helps manage her parents' farm. She is also an environmental journalist writing for Green Energy Times, and participating in local environmental organizations.
