SuitabookA Horse for Kate
Miralee Ferrell
- Reading
- Talk about the difference between wanting a horse and being ready to care for one. You could also discuss how moving and meeting Tori affect Kate’s choices, without needing to predict the ending.
- Themes
- A hoped-for horse: Kate hopes to own a horse and notices a barn, bridle and apparently unattended thoroughbred. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Change and new friendship: Kate moves to her late grandfather’s farm, starts at a school and meets Tori, whom she considers a best friend. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Loss and family decisions: Kate lives on her late grandfather’s farm and needs to convince her father about the horse. The book?s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The move follows the death of Kate’s grandfather, and she has had to stop riding lessons. The horse’s apparently solitary situation may invite attention, but its outcome and emotional weight are unclear.
