Meet Felicity: An American Girl

About to start the American Girls podcast, so I'm rereading my AG books before I listen to the episodes.

I haven't read this in probably nearly 25 years, so I only remembered broad strokes of this. I've always loved Felicity, but rereading this I think it's because we look alike, and I loved that as a child, rather than because we were alike. Felicity is rambunctious and doesn't like sitting still. She loves her family and horses. In this book she sets herself to save the tanner's new horse (whom she has named Penny), from his abuse. It's a sweet story about working for what you love and letting things go when it's for the best.

I fully credit American Girl and Ann Rinaldi books with my love of history, and I can definitely see what elementary-aged me loved about this book.
