Summary from Puffin
Another delicious book in the Chocolate Box Girls series, a sequel to Cherry Crush, Marshmallow Skye and Summer's Dream, from bestselling girls' favourite, Cathy Cassidy.
Coco
is the youngest of the Tanberry sisters but she's as headstrong as any
of them. Coco is crazy about animals and loves her riding lessons.
When Caramel, her favourite pony at the stables, is sold, Coco scopes
out the new owner - and she's not happy about what she discovers. With
big sister Honey going off at the deep end and Summer only just
recovering from her eating disorder, there's no-one at Tanglewood to
help Coco out. Can Coco save Caramel alone - or will a new friend help
her?
Nayuleska's thoughts
Coco is a sweetie, with a chaotic family
life which is sadly easy to relate to. I love how much she cares for her
sisters, regardless of whether they are blood related or not. She is trying to
save the world all by herself, but she learns that she needs the help of others
who think of things she hasn't even considered.I love her, and am looking
forward to reading her sisters' stories.
