Horse diaries: Bell’s Star
From the curious morgan colt, to the sturdy work horse, “Bell’s Star” by Alison Hart
is a heartfelt book of courage, cleverness, and trust. After a hard day’s work of pulling
huge barrels of about-to-be syrup, “Bell’s Star” or, “Bell” and her owner, Katie ride to
the stream, where Bell spots a runaway servant. After Bell and Katie save the girl,
Eliza, they know that people would be looking for her. Katie hides Eliza and promises
to help her find her family. One night, the night that Katie and Eliza plan to escape,
Bell hears “slave-catchers” and runs off to lead them away. When Bell gets back, Bell
and Eliza run off to where Eliza's parents are. When the girl and horse make it to
Eliza’s parents, Bell is forced to do one of two things, be free, or go back to his
mother and owner, Katie. Bell chooses to go home.
