Margret & Flynn by Kathleen Duey

Ever wanted a horse but couldn't afford one?  Maybe you'll be as lucky as Margret when a lost horse shows up after a tornado moves through the farm where she and her sister, Libby, are working.  Margret wants to stay and tame the horse but is afraid her sister wants to leave.  The two orphans have been running from place to place as far as back as Margret can remember.  Libby has always been the one to make the decisions.  Can Margret stand up to her and tell Libby how much she loves where she is now?  Read this sweet horse story to find out.

Stolen Children by Peg Kehret

When a young babysitter, Amy, and her 3 year old charge are kidnapped, she must use her wits to out-think her abductors.  I thoroughly enjoyed this book and lost most of an entire night's sleep when I couldn't put it down.  This page-turner is sure to become a most-requested item in the library!
