Wanted! A Horse

By Margaret Pearce

John Emery Phillips is convinced he's the only boy in the entire district without a horse.

Every Saturday, he watches from his front fence as riders clip-clop past on their way to Pony Club-and every Saturday, he's left behind. His parents say they can't afford animals. His blue heeler dog, Blue, hardly counts. And his dreams of owning a spirited black stallion seem about as likely as flying to the moon.

But when an unexpected opportunity drops into his life, John suddenly finds himself with a horse of his very own-even if it's not quite the horse he imagined. Now he must learn what it truly means to care for another creature: the early mornings, the hard work, the creative problem-solving when pocket money runs dry.

With his quick-witted friend Jenny at his side, her unflappable mare Patsy plodding along, and his troublemaking dog Blue nipping at everyone's heels, John discovers that getting what you want is only the beginning. Keeping it? That's where the real adventure starts.

Perfect for young readers aged 8-12 who love horses, loyal dogs, and stories about kids who refuse to give up on their dreams.
