SuitabookDestiny and the Wild Horses
Stacy Gregg
- Reading
- If reading together, pause when Issie learns of the plan and invite your reader to predict what help she might seek. You can revisit those predictions as the rescue effort develops.
- Themes
- Protecting the wild ponies: Issie hears of plans to cull wild ponies and determines to find a way to save them, particularly Destiny. The conflict centres on Issie’s effort to protect the wild ponies.
- Adventure and allies: Issie can call on pony-club friends and the farm manager as she tries to save the ponies. The rescue plot is presented as an effort that may involve help from others, rather than an undertaking Issie faces entirely alone.
- Worth knowing
- The prospect of wild ponies being culled is part of the plot. Consider whether this kind of animal-welfare conflict might be upsetting for your reader.
