Paddock Grove: A Pony to Own

A joyously satisfying pony book, first in a new 8+ series. * The Guardian *Any horse-lover will be enthralled… An absorbing story of triumph over adversity, learning to adapt and compromise, and how the power of kindness and friendship can help to overcome bullying. * BookTrust *Readers who love pony stories will be in seventh heaven reading this, the start of a new series. George and Bear are irresistible, both, and the background of friendships, rivalries, competitions, not to mention an added element of crime drama too, make it super satisfying and enjoyable. J. P. Rose knows all about horses, understands that special almost magical connection between rider and pony, and captures it all beautifully. A story to cherish. * LoveReading4Kids *Cracking… a joy to read and a story that will appeal not just to those who are horse lovers but actually anyone who enjoys a gripping tale. * World’s Smallest Library *Really well crafted and the storylines cleverly interwoven… I’m eagerly awaiting Riding For Gold, the next in this series. * Red Reading Hub *
