Louisiana Blue: The Story of an Impassioned Girl Who Stops at Nothing When Her American Saddlebred Is in Danger (Treasured Horses)

Rating:
Summary: A good book from the Treasured Horses series.
Review: Eleven-year-old Patience Long, who lives on a Louisiana cotton plantation in 1812, is excited when she learns that her late grandfather has left her his American Saddlebred horse, Blue. Patience loves horses, and she can't wait to have one of her very own. But she is so excited to ride Blue that she ends up in trouble with her parents, who expect her to behave like a young lady. Then the worst happens, and Blue is stolen by a horse thief -- and the father of her friend Yonie, an Acadian, is suspected of the crime. Can Patience and Yonie find the real thief and rescue Blue in time?

This book was pretty good, but the plot was very predictable. Still, it is a sweet and charming story, and young girls who enjoy horse stories or historical fiction are sure to like reading it.
