This book was a great book. The author put a lot of details about horseback riding, which is something that I love to do. For example, the author described how to prepare for a horse show and how not to be scared of the jumps and whatever else might happen. She also explained how not to be tense when riding or being near a horse because it makes a horse tense, too. I loved these details because I never knew many of the explanations that she gave.Sasha knew about participating in horse shows, but the people at Canterwood Crest taught her techniques that she had not known. One character that I liked, Sasha, had a lot in common with me. She had the type of horse that I would like to get, a chestnut thoroughbred that is fifteen hands. One character at Canterwood Crest who I really liked was Sasha's roommate and best friend, Paige. Paige was funny and loved to cook by making up new recipes. She was a good horseback rider, but she was not as good as Sasha. This did not make their friendship any different. The whole story was about horses, but it was about their friendship also. I recommend this book if you love any kind of animal and if you love secrets. (Now you know there is something else going on in this book!!) Sasha competes for the Regionals while still dealing with Heather's lies and interference. Sasha begins to believe that her crush Jacob like Heather (thanks to Heather!) and a new boy, Eric, starts midyear. While this series is based on a seventh grader and has a story line about boys there is a lot of detail about horses and school (as well as the importance of studying hard). This would be appropriate for 4th or 5th grade.
