[.ca] Meet Felicity: An American Girl (ISBN 1562470051)

Not the Best:
The American Girls are too boring!!! However, the Felicity book series are one of the best. I can't make it through reading a Kaya book, because they are so boring. Anyway, this book is about Felicity wanting the horse that she named Penny. But will Jiggy Nye, the mean guy, let her have the horse?

Meet Feicity book report:
Felicity loves horses and hates having to sit still and straight. Then she hears that cruel old Jiggy Nye has a new horse and just about worked her to death. When she sees the horse she instantly falls in love with her and gives her the name of Penny. She decides if she doesn't do anything about Penny being beaten no one will. Will she be able to save Penny in time?

Good Book:
I have this book and also the Felicity doll and I really enjoy the American Girl books and found this to be my favorite out of them all. The story shows that back in the 1700's girls had the same problems and adventures that they do today.I reccommend this book to any young girl.

Fun and Interesting:
I am ten years old and I just read this book. I thought that it was fun and exciting. I'd like to have a horse like Felicity's horse; Penny!

Excellent:
This is the first in the American Girls Short Stories series about Felicity Merriman, a nine-year-old girl living in the America of 1774. In this book, Felicity is bored with her constrained "girl's" world, where her time is spent wearing cumbersome dresses and making small, uniform stitches. Excitement enters, when she meets the knacker's new horse. The knacker, Jiggy Nye, is a cruel man who mistreats the horse. Here Felicity learns that sometime you must work for what you love, and sometimes you must give it up. The final chapter is a fascinating and highly informative look into life in 1774. This book lives up to the excellence that characterizes most American Girls books. My daughter and I greatly enjoyed it, and we recommend it to you.
