Mary's Song by Susan Count is an inspirational horse story with appealing characters, a historical setting of the 1950's and a wonderful ending. Mary, a crippled 12 year old, and her new friend, Laura, are determined to save a foal destined to be put down due to her lameness.
Although the ending was predictable, the creative ways the girls found to save the foal showed the reader that dreams can come true if one never gives up.
