Cute yet socially conscious children's book. Read it in the waiting room at my mechanic's. Yes, I read fast. Trying to get out of giving his 'people in the community' presentation, 3rd-grader Brad Carter sees the crisis surrounding the local policeman's horse as an opportunity for distraction.

Unless funds can be found to support the horse's retirement, he'll be sold for petfood! So, the third graders organize a fundraising campaign. They try effort after effort, most of which flop. However, in the long run, they do save the day...
Seems like a good general reading book.

I'm reading this book with my daughter. It's pretty slow for a chapter book. My daughter like the way the community came together for a cause. Great message about solidarity.
