Saige

Saige

Reviewer: Deb


Summary:
Saige’s new school year is not starting as she hoped.  First, there’s no art class this year due to budget cuts, and her best friend, Tessa, is spending more time with another music camp friend.  Grandma Mimi suggests that Saige do something about not having art class, like have a ‘save the arts’ parade and fund-raiser on Mimi’s horse, Picasso.  Saige trains Picasso for the parade which helps her forget some of her troubles and along the way meets a new friend.
Then Mimi is injured, and Saige worries that she cannot get everything done in time for the parade and fund-raiser.  Persistence, hard work and friends all work together to help Saige.


Review:
American Girl’s new character, Saige Copeland, is a likable girl who rides horses, paints and enjoys her close friends.  This character is set in today’s New Mexico and readers learn about New Mexico and its southwest culture.  A good read for anyone who enjoys animals and likes to be busy painting, riding horses and having fun with her friends and family.
