Twist of Fate -By Chris Stuckenschneider
A tractor-trailer carrying horses to a slaughterhouse crashes on a highway. Rescuers save many of them, including a pregnant mare. When her "miracle colt" is born, he draws national media attention. Young readers will be able to meet "Twist of Fate" when "Twister" tells his tale and introduces folks to friends he's made at Longmeadow Rescue Ranch. This is a story "straight from the horse's mouth." Color feature. (Teacher Guide available)

My class loves reading "Twist of Fate." Each week we look forward to reading about a new horse at the ranch. You have made the stories very interesting for my students and they are excited about reading! I am so thankful for the Newspapers in Education Program that made reading this story possible.

What young readers are saying about "Twist of Fate," a new serialized story from Missouri Press:
I like reading "Twist of Fate..." It’s also a lot better than reading a textbook. My favorite horse is Stan the thoroughbred. He looks like a really good racing horse. I wonder how he gets his stall door unlocked. I wish I could do that with the school door! I'm glad you're writing the story.
