(3) 4-6 Horses of the Dawn series. Filly Estrella is born on a ship en route to the New World. When provisions run low, the crew pushes some horses into the sea--Estrella and her mother Perlina among them. Perlina dies in a shark attack; Estrella leads the other horses to safety (albeit fleeting) on an island. Lasky weaves prehistory, legend, and historical fiction into her engaging animal fantasy.
