It was meant to be Caitlin's perfect summer, but betrayed by her best friend and her boyfriend, she finds herself hitchhiking home alone, heartbroken, and penniless. When a smiling family pulls up on the roadside to help her on her way, she's relieved at first - they seem friendly, normal. And when they offer her a warm bed in their cottage for the night, she's grateful - it's not safe for young women travelling alone in the dark, and she's in no rush to get home, where she knows a grave secret is due to blow her family apart.

Resumen del Editor
Enjoy three amazing pony stories in this fantastic collection by the Amazon best-selling author of The Riverdale Pony Stories, Amanda Wills.
This exciting edition contains "The Midnight Pony", "Juno’s Foal", and "The Pony of Tanglewood Farm".
"The Midnight Pony"
Ella Morgan doesn't believe in magic. But she's in for a big surprise.
Sent to stay with her eccentric aunt in a ramshackle clifftop house, she wakes one night at the stroke of midnight to find herself in a magical woodland glade.
By her side is a beautiful palomino pony--the same pony in a mysterious painting she was given for her ninth birthday.
Ella is convinced it's just a dream. Will she ever believe that magic is everywhere, if you only know where to look?
"Juno’s Foal"
Pony-mad Leah Lindberg thinks her summer is over when she is sent to stay with her godmother Freya and twins Isabella and Oscar on their rambling farm.
Things improve when Leah is asked to look after Juno, her godmother's chestnut mare, although she can't understand why no one else has guessed Juno's secret.
All is revealed one moonlit night when Echo is born. Puzzlingly, the tiny palomino foal bears a striking resemblance to Lightning the circus horse.
There's drama in the big top when the circus comes to town. But just when one mystery is solved there's another to uncover. Juno and Echo have disappeared and it's up to Leah to find them.
Echo is in mortal danger. And Leah is the only one who can save him.
"The Pony of Tanglewood Farm"
Nine-year-old Alice Winter lives next to Tanglewood Farm Animal Rescue Centre and spends all her spare time looking after the waifs and strays who call it home.
When an emaciated pony turns up at Tanglewood Alice makes it her mission to nurse him back to full strength.
Midnight Star is Alice's dream pony and when they win a trophy at the local show Alice feels like the luckiest girl in the world.
But Alice's luck is about to run out. She discovers to her horror that her new friend Susanna has her sights set on the little black gelding.
Alice feels betrayed. Surely Susanna of all people knows what it's like to lose the pony you love?
Perfect for fans of Pippa Funnell, Olivia Tuffin and Clare Balding.

Abby Lovitt has been riding horses for as long as she can remember, but Daddy hasn't let her name a single one. He calls all their geldings George and their mares Jewel and warns her not to get attached. The horses are there on the ranch to be sold, plain and simple. But with all the stress at school (the Big Four - Linda, Mary A., Mary N., Joan - have turned against her) and home (nothing feels right with her brother, Danny, gone), Abby can't help but seek comfort in the Georges and the Jewels, who greet her every day with soft nickers.

Acclaimed journalist and avid equestrian Sarah Maslin Nir is one of them; she began riding horses when she was just two years old and hasn’t stopped since. Horse Crazy is a fascinating, funny, and moving love letter to these graceful animals and the people who - like her - are obsessed with them.

Nora McNeill has always dreamed of exploring her Irish roots. When she finally gets the opportunity to spend a summer in the village where her grandparents grew up, the experience promises to live up to her very high expectations. Except for the ghost that is haunting her rented cottage and is soon invading her dreams. Briana Devlin has arranged her life the way she likes it: a good dog, good mates, and work with horses. There’s no room in her life for a relationship. Especially with an annoyingly clumsy - and attractive - American who is only going to be around for a few months.

Abby Lovitt has been riding horses for as long as she can remember, but Daddy hasn't let her name a single one. He calls all their geldings George and their mares Jewel and warns her not to get attached. The horses are there on the ranch to be sold, plain and simple. But with all the stress at school (the Big Four - Linda, Mary A., Mary N., Joan - have turned against her) and home (nothing feels right with her brother, Danny, gone), Abby can't help but seek comfort in the Georges and the Jewels, who greet her every day with soft nickers.

Raised on a ranch in northern California, Jody is well-schooled in the hard work and demands of a rancher's life. He is used to the way of horses, too; but nothing has prepared him for the special connection he will forge with Gabilan, the hot-tempered pony his father gives him. With Billy Buck, the hired hand, Jody tends and trains his horse, restlessly anticipating the moment he will sit high upon Gabilan's saddle. But when Gabilan falls ill, Jody discovers there are still lessons he must learn about the ways of nature and, particularly, the ways of man.

A Penguin Classic. First published in 1938, this volume of stories collected with the encouragement of his longtime editor Pascal Covici serves as a wonderful introduction to the work of Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck. Set in the beautiful Salinas Valley of California, where simple people farm the land and struggle to find a place for themselves in the world, these stories reflect Steinbeck’s characteristic interests: The tensions between town and country, laborers and owners, past and present.
