Book summary
Now that she has the horse of her dreams, Kate McGregor’s next dream is
to live in Vermont near her best friend, Holly Chapman. She wants to
ride for the Timber Ridge team and attend high school with Holly. But
Kate's father has other plans. He wants Kate to sell Tapestry and move
2,000 miles away. So does Angela Dean. She will stop at nothing to force
Kate and her horse out of Timber Ridge ... even if it means putting
herself at risk by cheating and letting Kate take the blame for
something that’s not her fault. Then Angela’s little sister reveals a
big family secret, and everything changes.
Nayu's thoughts
Possible bias as I already adore the series but the stakes
keep rising for Kate! Just when you think Mean Queen (my nickname)
Angela can't get any nastier in her tricks, she does. Without fail
every chapter had me on edge, scared that Kate would end up
suspended, taken away from her beloved Tapestry (I so approve of the
craft themed name) or be put in financial ruin. Holly is a wonderful
best friend, always supporting Kate through life's obstacles.
A
newcomer, Angela's little sister (I may have forgotten her if she was
in the last book, lousy memory!), stole my heart. She is a sweet
girl, total opposite of Angela and features heavily in Kate's life
for various reasons. I sincerely hope I see more of her in the
future. I can't give details but I inwardly cheered at the end when
Kate sees the headteacher - sometimes the truth can't be avoided but it
can be read between the lines. Tapestry's lying down trick is a life
saver, and there was the usual mucking out and cleaning up of horse
gear that I as a non-riding horse book lover enjoyed. They are
still too big and too far off the ground for me to ride, but I admire
them. What will happen next for Kate & Holly?
