Description

Does your imagination ever run wild?


Charli is at riding camp, where her dream is about to come true – she will finally learn to ride a real, live horse.


But when show-off Mikaela picks the horse Charli wants, her heart bungees to her toes. Instead of the beautiful palomino Razz, Charli’s stuck riding the massive retired racehorse Spud.


And what about the bats that fill the night sky? Don’t bats spread deadly diseases?


Riding camp isn’t turning out the way Charli planned, especially when she finds herself in the middle of a life-threatening disaster.


An action-packed adventure about horses, bats and getting carried away by your imagination.


Review

LAMONT STANDING ORDER PRIMARY FICTION BOOK OF THE MONTH - SEPTEMBER 2014!


 


Charli has always dreamed of learning to ride a horse and when she gets to go to riding camp she can’t wait.


However, it doesn’t all turn out as she expected and her very active imagination puts her and her horse Spud in danger.


A fantastic story about horses, bats, friends, responsibility and the importance of getting some facts before you rush into things.


Perfect for girls who love horse books, in Year 4 and up.
