Hoofbeats of Danger
Book 2 of the American Girl History Mysteries series
130 pages · First published 1999
Young horse lover Annie Dawson becomes alarmed when suspicious events threaten horses and people around her. Her knowledge of riding and stable life gives her clues adults may miss, but it also places her close to the danger. Friendship, responsibility, and concern for the animals keep Annie investigating even when caution would be easier. Holly Hughes’s juvenile historical adventure uses horses as both the emotional center and the source of suspense in a story about recognizing danger before it can strike again.
