The Promise Horse
This engaging story about a girl and a horse who form an unlikely bond is perfect for middle-grade readers.
Harry is tired of being the tall new kid with red hair, big feet and freckles; the one with the dead sister whose voice follows her wherever she goes. Everyone says she’s imagining it, but she knows they’re wrong. If she was making Sissy up, wouldn’t she make her less of a pain? When Harry’s wish for a horse comes true and Marksman comes into her life, she isn’t sure that the impressive horse is the one for her. She doesn’t need another challenge. But could he be just what she needs to learn the difference between standing out and standing up?
This fantastic story for middle-grade readers will tug at your heartstrings.
The Pony Question
**eBook Edition**
Facts and Magic, that’s how Essie thinks of the differences between she and her Mum, and yet they rub along happily together, living in their short country village street and spending their weekends travelling across the country side to clearing sales and second hand shops looking for furniture for her mum to restore in her own flamboyant Francesca Furniture style. Life has a gentle ebb and flow.
But Essie has no way of knowing that everything is about to change on the morning she and Francesca drive into the big rural property and tromp through the dew and accidentally buy, with the fall of the Auctioneers hammer, not the lounge they were after, but a pony. And not just any pony, but possibly the saddest, skinniest pony ever seen, and one that is hiding a couple of secrets, one in particular that some bad people are very determined to keep quiet.
Essie discovers that something she never even dreamed of, because it seemed so impossible, a pony of her own, is suddenly within her grasp and standing in her car port. But there is a long road ahead, the pony is weak and has determined enemies whose fates are tied up with hers, so they will not only have to nurse her back to health, but also keep her out of the hands of those so desperate to get her. As the pony’s secrets come to light and her tale unfolds, it will take facts and magic, as well as the ingenuity of the people of the little street, a whole lot of growing up for Essie, and the realisation that love doesn’t mean ownership, to keep the pony safe and bring her home.
