Feather the Foal - (Phantom Stallion) by Terri Farley

Book Synopsis

A foal longs to go exploring in this second book in the beautiful Level 2 Ready-to-Read companion series to the classic Phantom Stallion middle grade books by Terri Farley.

Feather is a curious foal. She wants to run fast and far, but her legs are still too weak. She wants to explore the tunnel, but it is too dark. For now, Feather stays with her family. But one day, she will be big and brave enough to charge out of the valley and see what's beyond the mountains and how far the stream flows.

About the Author

Terri Farley has always loved horses and is overjoyed that she outgrew her childhood allergy to them. She taught middle school and high school language arts and journalism in inner-city Los Angeles before moving to the cowgirl state of Nevada. Now she rides the range researching the books that have made her an award-winning author and an advocate for the West's wild places and wildlife--especially wild horses. Through school and library visits, Terri continues to work with young people learning to make their voices heard. She lives in a one-hundred-year-old house with her family, which includes her dog, Willow. In true collie fashion, Willow rescued the youngest member of the Farley family, an orphaned kitten named Tamarack.
