Thomas Kinkade is America's most collected living artist, whose paintings bring hope and joy to millions. He is a best-selling author and has illustrated such books as A Child's Christmas at St. Nicholas Circle by Douglas Kaine McKelvey.
Gr. 5-7. Embarrassed by her mother's suffragist politics, Rose, 13, is afraid to bring her new friends home after her family moves from New York City to Cape Light fishing village in 1906. She remembers when Momma was arrested and when she wore bloomers! Rose's personal focus is not on voting but on nurturing an abused horse, beautiful Midnight Star. When she is told that girls can't ride in a local horse race, she disguises herself as a boy. But then her fury makes her militant, and she finds the courage to challenge the rules, ride as a girl, and win--to her mother's delight. There's lots of contrivance in this second title in the Girls of Lighthouse Lane series, but the tender horse story will appeal to readers, as will the feminist history and drama. Hazel Rochman
