Synopsis

Eight and half years old Lavender Lilace lives with her loving parents and pinto horse named Pepper-mint inside a quiet, peaceful town in 1757. Life is normal for all four of them…until a rapid fire starts in the family’s store! Excited Lavender finally figures out that the word “thrilling” can sometimes mean permanent bad changes when her mother and father are killed in the blaze. She begins escaping to her cousin’s home with Peppermint and a few of their limited supplies. But can Lavender successfully reach her aunt’s farm safely and also outrun two stealthy, mastered, bloodthirsty burglar brothers? Is she ready for all the challenges she has to face? Or –this is what she thinks will happen but hopes won’t– will she die, like her parents, and never succeed?

À propos de l'auteur

Fatimah Solaiman is an young author who believes reading her story should be as fun as writing it. She lives in San Jose, CA with her loving parents, a competitive elder sister, Maryam, and a handful of bothersome little brother. The main reason why she wrote about Peppermint is that she loves horses and wants to have one for a pet; she likes to look for farm horses on boring car rides. Also, she hopes she will become the writer of many children’s books (if Allah wills) because writing and reading are two out of all her hobbies. In fact, at age 5, when most of the kids were told, “eat your dinner or you can’t watch T.V. tonight” she was told instead, “eat your dinner or you can’t read books tonight.” According to her mother, it worked every time!
