Michele Powles, The Sapling

This is the second ‘Showtym Adventures’ story I have read, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first. A lot of that comes from my childhood love (alright, obsession) with all things pony, but it also comes from this story being an engaging read...There are sacrifices, hard work, compromises and ultimately, goals achieved; all good messages for young readers to pick up. The sisters are the kind of girls readers will want to be friends with - kind, fun, clever and talented (and they have ponies… lots of ponies!), and they also work hard and follow their passions - this is a family that works together and supports one another. The stories are well paced and highly readable - it’s a good thing there are plenty of them!
