Jade and the Stray

Jade loves reading about beautiful, clever horses and their young riders. It takes her mind off her real-life troubles. It must be fate. After a family tragedy, Jade Lennox has moved to tiny Flaxton to live with her grandfather. A whole year in the middle of nowhere, and the future looks bleak. Until, that is, she finds someone else who's lonely and despairing - a pony under a death sentence. Jade can't let the black pony die. But what can she do? She has no money, no land for grazing, and doesn't know the first thing about looking after horses. What she does know is that she must save the stray . . . Ages 8-12.
