"A time-old story of the transformative bond between animal and child" (Telegraph), perfect for fans of Katherine Applegate and Gennifer Choldenko!

New home. New friendships. New rules.

13-year-old Misty’s life is about to be turned upside down. When her dad loses his job, they’re forced to move to Redbridge – a world away from her house and her friends. But this new part of town brings plenty of surprises – she wasn’t expecting to live somewhere that horses run free, and she certainly wasn’t expecting to meet Dylan, a mysterious local boy who loves horses...

Misty is determined to keep up appearances and hide this new version of life from her old friends at all costs. But the horses she has grown to love come under threat, and she must fight for the courage to stand up for what she believes, and to help save the place she now calls home.

This uplifting story for pony-loving readers aged 8-12 handles topics such as family struggles, grief, unemployment, moving home, and the complexities of friendship with a masterful touch. As Misty grapples with having to grow up too fast, the bonds she forms with her animal friends help her remain determined to make a difference.
