Feisty Shay longs to wear britches and cut her hair short. Even more, she'd love for all who live in Oldenshire, her fortress home, to stop eating meat.When hunters capture a pouncer for the Harvest Revel's "mane course," Shay decides to act. With the help of Alexy (the laundress's mute son) and Bridger (Da's retired war horse), she concocts a plan to free the beast before it winds up on Da's holiday spit.The pouncer repays Shay in a big way, bringing his own kingdom to the rescue when her fortress home falls under enemy siege. The problem? Da's soldiers see the forest citizens as their enemies too.Two kingdoms, divided by culture and language, multiplied by fear and misunderstanding, equals the chaos of war. Shay's mathematical mind sees it like this: (K1 ] K2) (c + l) ] x (f + m) = war.Can two imperiled children and a tired old horse save the day?Shay and Alexy must act before their fortress families and forest friends harm each other. It will take bravery, but Shay must try. After all, she gave the pouncer his freedom, but in return he gave her the greatest gift of all, a whole new kind of bravery: the courage to be her true self.

Hi. It's so nice to see you again I bet reading Shay The Brave sparked a lot of ideas in your mind. Maybe you even talked about some of your thoughts and ideas with one of your friends or with an adult in your life (I do that kind of thing, too).But sometimes I just want to think about things all by myself.Doing that helps me figure out my own thoughts and feelings about a lot of topics - especially if I write my ideas down.That's why I came up with this very special journal just for us In these pages you can share all your deepest, bravest, and most creative thoughts with no one else but me, if you like.To help you along, I've filled this journal with lots of prompts to help get you started. There are even spaces to draw some of your ideas. I can't wait to see what you come up with Oh, and if you want to share your ideas or drawings with me in person, you can always write me. There's an address inside where you can send me your letters, drawings, and thoughts.Whether you write in this journal or write your thoughts in some other notebook, it can be inspiring (and sometimes healing) to jot your feelings down instead of keeping them all locked up inside your head.So let's get started Your friend, Shay
