About the author

As an American Girl author and editor, Erin Falligant has developed books across a number of series, including Angelina Ballerina, Hopscotch Hill School, and American Girls Short Stories. While writing Braving the Lake, a story with more than 20 endings, she had great fun imagining the many paths the story could take. She views the Innerstar University™ books as “wonderfully challenging to write and a great teaching tool for readers, who can read the stories again and again to find out how the decisions they make lead to different outcomes.” Ms. Falligant has a master's degree in child clinical psychology and coaches Girls on the Run, where she helps girls build self-confidence and create paths of their own near her home just outside of Madison, Wisconsin.

3.25 - The horse Hollyhock was described as sweet 7 times. Someone give the author a thesaurus. Otherwise, it was mostly a repeat of McKenna's books condensed into a SWEET graphic novel style story for a new generation to enjoy.

This is a great start to Lila's story! The friendship plot feels like a re-tread of her book (or maybe that's a re-tread of this?), but I loved the horse camp sections. 4.5 golden stars! ;D
