True Riders

Ponies of Chincoteague #6

by Catherine Hapka

Brooke has major boy problems—from her brothers to her crush to her horse—in this sixth book in a contemporary middle grade series in the tradition of Marguerite Henry’s Misty of Chincoteague.

Boys + ponies = trouble. Lots of it. Brooke’s parents force Brooke to share Foxy with her little brothers and Brooke is none too happy. But she is happy that her friend Adam has been hanging around more again. She even lets him talk her into entering Foxy in a local show. But it doesn’t help that the twins riding Foxy so much lately is making the pony backslide in her training and act up a bit. And then: disaster! Adam backs out of attending the show, and Brooke almost backs out as well when Foxy throws her off for the first time ever! Will Brooke give up on riding for good?

The author did a really good job creating lots of plot twists and interesting aspects in this book! One of the things Catherine Hapka could have done better is extend the story a few days so that we could see how Brook’s life (the main character) continued after the problem was resulved. All of the elements in this book were realistic. I thought it was cool how in this book it was happening while the last book in this series took place. I really enjoyed this book! It’s all about horses and I recommend it to anyone who is just as horse crazy as me! (Although if your not you would still love this book!)
