About

In this Dog Diaries-meets-Horse Diaries Special Crossover Edition, a no-nonsense fire dog meets her match in the biggest, hottest flames Chicago has ever seen-and a rescue horse with an attitude!

In the 1800s, firefighters used horses to pull fire trucks. But horses spook easily and run away from fire-so they needed fire dogs.

And there's no better fire dog than Sparky. Sparky is so good at her job; she knows when the alarm is going to ring before it even rings! But today is no ordinary day. There's no choice but to put Cinders-a rescue horse with an attitude-to work at her very first fire, one destined to become one of the greatest disasters of the nineteenth century! With realistic black-and-white illustrations and an appendix including information about Dalmatians, the Great Chicago Fire, and more, this is historical fiction for kids who don't like historical fiction, and a perfect choice for supporting Common Core State Standards.

Get the horse's side of the story! Read Horse Diaries Special Edition: Cinders.
