Review
#1 in the Animal Rescue Series, "Blazing Courage" is a wonderful story about a young girl's courage to save not only her horse, but many other horses as well in a blaze that destroys the stables that she loves. This story is purely fiction, but is inspired by the true story of a 15 year-old girl who also proved to be heroic in saving the lives of many horses in a stable fire in April of 2012.
This is well written with good character development. It is face-paced and would be welcomed change for reluctant readers especially those with a love for horses and who enjoys a good adventure. Recommended for grades 4-9, but would be enjoyed by anyone who read it.
Overall Book Score: very good
