Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-Being horse-crazy is not a prerequisite for enjoying Haas's addition to her series about Beware and his young owner, Lily, but for the multitude of children who are, it will be a sure hit. During a thunderstorm, most of the horses on Lily's farm, including vicious, unapproachable Stogie, break out of their pasture and the girl sets out on Beware to find them. Throughout, Haas's writing reflects a deep knowledge of horses but never bogs down with too many details. Situations, especially dangerous ones, are believable. The book features an exciting cover, large print, short chapters, sketches to introduce each chapter, snappy dialogue, and manageable vocabulary for readers making the important transition to longer chapter books. The tightly constructed plot develops steadily and quickly, pulling readers along.

From Booklist
Gr. 2^-5. The fourth episode featuring Lily and her beloved bay mare, Beware, finds them facing an unexpected challenge: rounding up the family's missing livestock after a violent storm. The cows, workhorses, and Gramps' wild, untamed Morgan, Stogie, have all disappeared, and Lily and Beware set off to track them down. Soon all the livestock are accounted for, except for Stogie. And Lily knows that to find him is one thing but to capture him and bring him in is another--a potentially dangerous endeavor. As in the previous books, the text is simple yet descriptive, with plenty of drama to hold the beginning reader's interest. Haas includes many details on the behavior and caretaking of horses, which will appeal to young fans of the genre. The characters of Lily and other family members are distinctively drawn, and Lily herself is someone to admire--she is down-to-earth, sensitive, responsible, and courageous. This latest installment is sure to satisfy earlier series fans as well as draw in new ones. Shelle Rosenfeld
