Spud & Charli

Review
by Athina Clarke
Charli dreams of owning a horse; if she could only learn to ride and win the gymkhana she might convince her parents to buy her one. It’s a big challenge but Charli has determination in spades – especially when it comes to horses. So when she finally makes it to her first riding camp, her excitement breaks from a trot to a gallop. But an untamed imagination can be a dangerous beast, especially when it starts jumping to conclusions. Through a series of misadventures Charli finally learns to harness her mind to discover a larger world.
A delightful canter through a world of horses, riding and gymkhana, Spud & Charli offers some important lessons about life, community and nature. The author of the charming Smooch & Rose (shortlisted for the 2014 Readings Children’s Book Prize) has given us a story any animal enthusiast is sure to love.
Highly recommended for ages 7 and up.
