A Horse For Kate (Horses And Friends) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
A horse of her own would be awesome. But Kate figures that might be a long way away, especially since she had to give up riding lessons and move to her late grandfather’s farm. Besides, it would be a lot more fun to have a best friend to ride with. When Kate discovers a barn on their new farm that’s perfect for a horse, and a dusty bridle too, she starts to think that her dream might come true. Then she meets Tori at school, who is totally the best. So when they discover a thoroughbred that appears to be all alone, could it be the answer to her prayers? Maybe. If she can convince her dad ... and figure out what’s going on with that horse.

When her dad gets a new job and her family makes the move to Odell, Oregon, twelve-year-old Kate Ferris feels lost and alone. All of her friends were left behind and starting over at a new school seems overwhelming. The only thing she has left is her passion for horses. But Kate soon finds out that love and friendship comes in all kinds of forms, from humans to animals, when she makes a new best friend at school AND on the her daily walks home. Join Kate as she fulfills her love of horses and goes on the adventure of a lifetime! I must admit that, although I am a lot older than the recommended age for this book (9-13), I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Kate Ferris and her love of horses. I developed a love of horses at a very early age and, because of it, love reading stories involving horses and all things western. While the main aspect of the story is horses and Kate's passion of them, there are several things I loved about it. The author puts a strong emphasis on the value of friendship and the subject of prejudice which I feel imparts a valuable lesson to young kids today. Especially with bullying becoming a major issue in today's society. One thing I really want to mention is Kate's relationship with her seven-year-old brother, Pete. The tender way she treats him is a beauty to behold. If just one child takes that example and learns from it it will make this entire writing effort more than worth it. It also has a short section at the back of the book called "Secrets for Your Diary". It contains study questions that are like diary entries and each one has a short note from the main character, Kate, below it. It fits in very well with the book and I think it's on point for the targeted age group.
