Phoenix

First in a brilliant new middle grade horse series from the award-winning author of The War That Saved My Life

The first book in a fresh, exciting horse-kid series from an unexpected horse-kid herself, Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, award-winning and New York Times-bestselling author of The War That Saved My Life.

Harper's life just exploded. Her parents are getting a divorce and eleven-year-old Harper and her mother are starting again-in a cramped house, in a new town, where everything feels unfamiliar, including the riding stables next door. Harper has never been around horses before. And no, she does not want to learn to ride. Then a truck dumps a starved and neglected horse right in Harper's yard. She has no idea what to do with a live horse let alone a nearly dead one.

But one look at the horse's huge eyes and his skinny body and something inside Harper unlocks. She names the horse Phoenix, and she will not give up on him. Neither, it turns out, will Phoenix give up on her. Will this be Harper's first step towards new friends and new adventures? Towards riding?

For readers of Pony Club Secrets and anyone who loves horses!
