Nayuleska's thoughts
Yay!
Another horse book. I loved this one because not only did I learn about
friends taking care of their ponies together, they solve a mystery! I
adore detective stories, and the way the girls use their horses to help
figure out some of the clues is interesting. Each girl has a
distinctive trait: I share Alice's nerves and Rosie's ability for
mishaps. This is a thrilling 10/10 start to an exciting series, with
illustrations of horse and rider st the front and tips on pony care at
the back.
