Middle grade kids have a strong and enduring love for horse stories, which are popular because they capture the imagination with themes of freedom, adventure, and a deep bond between humans and horses.

This passion is reflected in a number of horse-themed books, including classics you might remember loving like Black Beauty and My Friend Flicka. Terri Farley, a local author, has captured that magic in her 24 volume, wildly popular Phantom Stallion series. You and your children have the opportunity to meet Terri at the next Browsers Corner Book Store author event on Saturday, Nov. 8 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
