Mary's Song

Dream Horse Adventures, Book 1

By: Susan Count

Narrated by: Caitlin Cavannaugh

An enchanting tale of courage, love, loss, and hope.

Twelve-year-old Mary falls in love with a foal that is lame, just like her. The expensive surgery the foal needs has little chance to correct the problem. Still Mary plots and conspires to raise money to save the horse, even as time runs out. She sacrifices what she holds dear - the trust of her papa, to gain her heart's desire. But she could lose everything in her struggle to save the foal.

For tween fans of the classic horse books like The Black Stallion, Black Beauty, and Misty of Chincoteague.
