Hiding Glory
Gary A. Lippincott, Laura Chester
First in a series of imaginative children's books this is the wild tale of a small blue horse named Glory (guardian of the morning glory vine) who takes Turner Flint off to the land of Joya, where she can forget her earthly worries, like her taunting older brother and what she should wear on the first day of school. Lippencott's drawings, together with Chester's prose, take us on a very exciting gallop, filled with fun and fright.
