Princess Ellie is crazy about her ponies! Any time she can, she trades in her royal crown and fancy dresses for her riding helmet and boots, and heads out to the Royal Stable. Along with her best friend, Kate, Ellie takes her ponies for rides and jumps all around the palace grounds. Together, they go on adventures, solve mysteries, and, of course, spend lots of time with Ellie’s adorable ponies.
BOOK #7: PRINCESS ELLIE TAKES CHARGE Princess Ellie has learned a lot about taking care of ponies from Meg, the palace groom. But when Meg get injured and has to go to the hospital, Ellie finds out that looking after six ponies is a lot harder than she thought. Can Ellie save the day when her ponies need her the most?
I'm the author of more than forty books, including my successful Pony-Mad Princess series. I write for adults as well as children. and many of my books have been translated into other languages. My Amy Wild - Animal Talker series is popular in Japan, and the Japanese editions look fantastic.
I've always been pony-mad so it's not surprising that my favourite animals feature in many of my books. I even used my research for "There Must Be Horses" as an excuse to buy the horse I had always dreamed of owning. He's a Haflinger so he's a palomino who gets fat really easily.
I've recently started writing books to help other writers. "Plots and Plotting: how to create stories that work" has just been published, and I'm currently working on a sequel called "Scenes and Sentences". I'm also in the process of writing two more Amy Wild books so I'm very busy at the moment.
Perfect amount of illustrations to engage a not-yet-reading preschooler (girl) in longer read-alouds. Princesses, ponies, and good plot make it appealing. Learn lots of details about pony care, too.
