About the book
From the author of A Dog Called Homeless, winner of the Schneider Family Book Award, comes another gentle novel with a touch of magic about the power of friendship and the truth of belonging.
Nell isn't happy about spending her vacation on a farm, but when she meets a half-wild and mysterious girl named Angel, the two girls are tied in an adventure that may help Nell discover something special about herself—and the most special of a hundred horses.
Girls and horses are a classic pairing, and fans of favorites such as My Friend Flicka and Misty of Chincoteague are sure to love the heartwarming friendship story and adorable—and magical—animals in A Hundred Horses.
One city girl who feels like she doesn’t belong. One wild girl who seems to belong nowhere.
- A Children’s Horse Book: Nell has never been around horses, but she’s drawn to a mysterious herd with a secret: one of them is unlike any other.
- Magical Realism: A gentle story where the line between reality and magic blurs, and a deep connection with animals can feel like a miracle.
- Finding Your Voice: For quiet Nell, a vacation in the countryside and a friendship with the mysterious Angel might be the adventure she needs to discover her own strength.
- Family Secrets: Both girls are hiding something—Nell, a broken carousel left by her father, and Angel, the truth about why she’s living wild on the farm.
