5.0 out of 5 stars History Mysteries: A Good Series For Kids
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2001

I read "Hoofbeats Of Danger" with my nine-year-old daughter. It was the first book in this series we read together. Since then, we have read a couple of others in the series and I imagine we will get to all of them. I know my daughter is enjoying these books because she always wants to keep going when it's time to stop. These books have three very positive aspects to them. First, they are good stories. They hold kids' interest and make reading fun. Second, the young heroines in these stories make good role models for the real girls reading or hearing the stories. Third, they provide a small history lesson, imparting some insight into a particular period and place in American history.
"Hoofbeats Of Danger" takes place on the frontier at the time of the Pony Express. It involves a realistic look at frontier life and provides some factual information along the way. I highly recommend this book and, in general, the entire series, to parents looking for reading material for kids (especially girls) in the nine to twelve age group.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting book about a girl living at a Pony Express station.
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 1999
Eleven-year-old Annie Dawson loves living at the Red Buttes Pony Express Station in the Nebraska Territory. It's 1860, and Annie's father is the stationmaster at Red Buttes. When Annie's favorite pony, Magpie, suddenly goes wild, Annie suspects that he has been poisoned. With the help of Express rider Bill Cody and her half-Shoshone friend Redbird, Annie sets out to find the truth. I highly reccomend this book. I hardly ever see mysteries in a historical setting like this, so I love the HISTORY MYSTERIES books.
