Beware the mare
Named to the Sequoyah Award Master List: Experienced rider Lily is ready for a real horse--will Beware the mare bring her good or bad luck? The bright-eyed bay mare in the truck looks very small. Lily's grandfather brought her home to their Vermont farm as a present for Lily. She's shaggy, her mane is tangled, and she looks as if she hasn't been brushed in a long time. To Lily, she's beautiful. But Lily has to solve the mystery of her name. Why is she called Beware? And why did Gramp get her so cheap? Is something wrong with her? Lily can't imagine what--she's already crazy about the little bay. The test will be when Lily takes her out for her first ride. What will happen then? This charming story of a girl and her pony will capture the hearts of horse-crazy young readers everywhere.

- "Gramps gets a good bargain on an apparently perfect bay mare for Lily, but because the horse is named Beware he suspects that there may be something wrong with her. Lily and her mother live on a farm with Gran and horse-trader Gramp. When he brings home a new mare, he is suspicious of her name, "Beware," and supervises Lily's actions around her. As the two of them investigate how Beware got her name, Gramp communicates useful handling tips and Lily falls in love with her seemingly perfect horse. Beware ends the mystery in a somewhat disappointing scene; she demands to have her itchy belly scratched when blackflies bother her. Told in the third-person, the book will capture young horse lovers with its believable characters and realistic dialogue. Simple vocabulary and short sentences make it accessible for transitional or slow readers."
