Legend of the Yearling by Roan Black and Roberta Papalia - ESSENTIAL

Legend of the Yearling (Guardians of Horsa #1)
by Roan Black, illustrated by Roberta Papalia.
139 pages. GRAPHIC NOVEL Simon and Schuster. 2023. $20. 

Content: G. 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Four young horses - one from each of the realms of Horsa are brought together to find the Yearling - the one who fulfills the prophecy! The realms are enemies, and the horses must learn to work together to complete the quest. 

The first in a series, The Yearling was a fun adventure. The story was simple, and the dialogue was predictable - perfect for 7yo AJ to read on her own. She loved the illustrations, - not every character is a horse - and she was so excited to see I already had book 2.
