How did a tiny foal end up at Oak Tree Farm? Jasmine and her friend Tom scramble to keep the scared creature alive—while searching for his owner—in a story perfect for horse lovers.
While walking her collie, Jasmine hears a whinny from one of the fields on her family's farm. A tiny, injured foal is all alone, so Jasmine decides it's up to her to help him regain his health. With two fluffy rabbits to take care of—and an animal-hating great-aunt visiting—Jasmine and her best friend, Tom, have their work cut out for them. But when their search for the foal's owner leads to a possible horse thief, Jasmine and Tom will need to use their smarts to return the foal to his proper home. From author Helen Peters and illustrator Ellie Snowdon, this latest book in the Jasmine Green Rescues series provides a world of heart and a touch of mystery to horse-loving young readers.

      The 11th installment of a British series featuring animal lover Jasmine. School has just finished for the year when, the night after a big thunderstorm, Jasmine finds a wounded baby horse in one of the fields on her family farm. Jasmine and her best friend, Tom, use Jasmine's donkey, Mistletoe, to lure the foal into a pen so that Jasmine's mom, a vet, can treat his leg. Jasmine wants nothing more than to keep the foal, but she knows it belongs with its mother. With Tom's help, she works to find the foal's owner and solve the mystery of how it got to her family's farm. Like the previous titles in the series, this book combines adventure with sound, age-appropriate information about how to care for and work with animals; however, the side plot involving a pair of rabbits and Jasmine's stereotyped and misogynistic great aunt feels contrived. That Jasmine is biracial is conveyed through the illustrations (Jasmine has brown skin, while her mom's skin is comparatively darker, and her dad is White) and by her mother's surname: Singh. Black-and-white illustrations that appear every few pages, along with the relatively large font size and careful pacing, will make this story appealing to readers just moving on from beginner chapter books. A cheerful horsey story with a dash of mystery. (Fiction/chapter book. 6-9)
