Camilla Chester returns this Spring with gorgeous galloping middle grade, Project Pony, for horse lovers everywhere.
When Nat, aged ten, and her best friend Ashlin book into an Own Your Own Pony week, Mum has to come too. Nat is sure this will be the chance she needs to get Mum onside with Project Pony, and see the back of Mum's unwelcome boyfriend Vik at the same time. But nothing goes to plan: Mum is waylaid, Vik takes her place, the other girls are unkind.
Will Nat's friends and family and cheeky pony Loki come through for her when she most needs them?
