About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a crisis of conscience or feeling the weight of a promise that has become unexpectedly complicated. Set in eighteenth-century England, this story follows a young boy named Christy who is offered a golden guinea to hold a stranger's horse. What begins as a simple job quickly turns into a high-stakes dilemma when the King's Guard arrives, demanding he betray the horse's owner. It is a masterful exploration of integrity, the gray areas of justice, and the pressure of making adult decisions in an unfair world. Ideally suited for children aged 8 to 12, it provides a safe space to discuss why 'doing the right thing' isn't always easy or obvious.
