Horse Diaries #9: Tennessee Rose





For anyone who has ever dreamed of hearing a horse's story . . .

Alabama, 1856. Tennessee Rose is a dark bay Tennessee Walking Horse with a rose-shaped marking on her forehead. She loves dashing around the plantation in the running walk that her breed is famous for, then coming back to her comfortable stall and her friend Levi, the enslaved boy who is her groom. But as the Civil War approaches, Rosie begins to question plantation life. Is slavery fair? Could Levi be free? Like Black Beauty, this moving novel is told in first person from the horse's point of view and includes an appendix full of photos and facts about Tennessee Walking Horses and the Civil War.

Praise for Horse Diaries:

"For kids who wonder what horses are really thinking, this new series gives it straight from the horse's mouth. . . . Perfect for the intended primary-grade, horse-loving audience. Occasional black-and-white illustrations and long fact-filled appendices add much."--The Horn Book Magazine
