Description
Erika Delgano can sometimes get a little angry. Her little brother manages to ruin everything, and her parents don't have any time for her. And one night things go from bad to worse.
Quick Summary
Imagine a kid who can turn that hot, fuzzy feeling of anger into a wild, mischievous horse that follows her around, and you've got the heart of Erika and the Anger Mare. It's perfect for early elementary readers who like a splash of humor, a dash of spooky nighttime adventure, and a lot of heart. The story balances a few genuinely creepy moments (like the mare galloping through the house at midnight) with laugh-out-loud sibling antics, so it's exciting without being too scary. As Erika learns to talk to, outwit, and eventually befriend the mare, kids see practical ways to handle their own big feelings, making it a great conversation starter for families. If your child loved the way feelings become characters in *The Day the Crayons Quit*, they'll find a similar magic here, but with a horsey twist that feels fresh and fun.
