"Bramble loved fall...The weather made Bramble feel spooky. It made her feel frisky and full of fun." In their third first-chapter-book entry, Maggie (girl) helps Bramble (horse) overcome her fear of scarecrows; Bramble helps Maggie get back in the saddle after a fall; and the two have a Halloween-y good time. Clear, lively prose and soft, expressive gouache illustrations combine for a Halloween friendship story.
