Ages 8-12. A generous sampling of Shields's realistic line drawings dresses up the text. . From Publishers Weekly A new book by Henry, author of the Newbery-winning King of the Wind (1948) and two Newbery Honor books, including Misty of Chincoteague (1947), invites high hopes. Yet with a little care Lady Sue begins to thrive, and brings much happiness to Molly and her parents. Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. When 10-year-old Molly and her father purchase an aging mare at auction, the animal is a far cry from the sprightly young horse the girl has long coveted. Sadly, this slim novel disappoints from the start. Soon she gives birth to Brown Sunshine, a spirited mule who, in an easily foreseen ending, is crowned king of the pivotal Mule Day Celebration. In addition to its predictable plotting, Henry's story suffers from hackneyed characterization
