I really kind of liked this one and it started a great conversation between me and my children about right vs. wrong. Felicity's story illustrates well the relativity of "rightness." There's a lot of justification and rationalization in here, too, which I guess prepares a child for doing that in the future. For the (very noble) cause of preventing abuse of an animal and possibly the death of that animal, Felicity lies to her parents - twice, steals from her father's apprentice, and essentially destroys private property as she trespasses. Does the end justify the means? You'll have to decide. Wow. This book is heavier than I thought.

Standard one star off because it had a horse in it.
