About the Book
A summer at one of the poshest riding camps in the province could be perfect - unless you're Lacey Strickland, and you're leaving Salem, Meg, and Jared behind on the island.Book Synopsis
A summer at one of the poshest riding camps in the province. A hundred horses. Rolling hills ribboned with hacking trails and cross-country jumps.
It could be perfect. Unless you're Lacey Strickland, and you're leaving Salem, Meg, and Jared behind on the island.
The only thing that isn't hard to leave is Lacey's memory of her first kiss, delivered in a spring-scented hayfield, which sizzled, then fizzled into nothing at all.
The other thing making camp less-than-perfect for Lacey? She's not a cosseted camper, but a staff member - teaching riding lessons from sun-up to sun-down.
In Meg's first letter to Lacey, she writes, "I bet anything there's at least one amazing horse waiting for you there. And maybe a new great - if not best - friend."
Is Meg right? Could Lacey meet a horse she'll love just as much as Salem? And are there new friends in her future? Maybe even somebody who could give her more than just one kiss in a hayfield?
Review Quotes
"I bought this book on my Kindle last night, stayed up until 1am reading it, then got up at 6:30am and finished it over breakfast. Needless to say, it was hard to put down! I really enjoyed this installment." - Kate Lattey, author of the Pony Jumpers series.
"I'm not a horsey person, but I felt like I could want to be a horsey person after reading these books ... LOVED watching Lacey get to know Night. Enjoyed the little bits of horsey knowledge that was passed along in little places here and there ... not so much to overwhelm someone from outside that world, but enough to give a sense of place and time if that makes sense." - Review by Celebrity Readers
"I liked how correct the author was with the equine terminology and equine behaviors and I loved reading about the little girls and their accomplishments ... I give this book 5 magical stars." - Amazon Reviewer
