This book is perfect for horse loving fans no matter their age even though it is a middle grade book. It is a very drama filled book but so entertaining to read with some mystery to it.

Another fun Jessica Burkhart book! Reading about Abby's continuing boarding school adventures was a delight, I only wish the installments were longer so I could get more. The characters are tender and honest, the settings are enchanting and hopeful, the plot is just tense enough to be intriguing, but without a lot of major stress. I'm really enjoying this series! In this second book, we got some more crushes and romance, and I adored it. As in the last book, the character relationships are really the star of the show, but the equestrian competitions were also so much fun.
