(4) 1-3 Hoofbeats series. Twelve-year-old Silence loves riding her mare--and dislikes learning to be a lady--in colonial Boston. When the citizens begin to revolt against new English rules, her family's loyalties are tested. The trajectory offers few surprises, but details worked into the plot, such as a British officer moving into Silence's home, help give readers some interesting historical perspective.
