I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Poppy McKeever is heading to pony camp with her beloved pony Cloud, and her best friend Scarlett. But things quickly turn to disaster, and they find themselves in charge of the yard, along with the yard owners grandson, Sam. They didn't think things could get worse, and then it becomes clear someone is intent on taking Redhall stables down. Poppy, Scarlett and Sam must work to find out who's behind the sabotage, and stop them before it costs them everything.
I loved this book. It's my favourite of the series so far, and I've really enjoyed the previous three books! I was grabbed from the first paragraph, anxious to know what had happened, and what the outcome would be. And that never really let up. I pretty much read this in one sitting. The series, and this book in particular, is so strong because of it's realness. Poppy and her love for Cloud, the bond they share. The actions and thoughts of the characters, along with their growth through the series, it's all so believable. There is a strong mystery element that works very well, I wasn't sure who the culprit was until late on. I felt the unease and fear Poppy did as events escalated. And I smiled and rolled my eyes when a certain character annoyed Poppy too. Beginning to end, this story is full of horses, mystery, and excellent story telling. I think the only thing I missed in this book, is that we don't get to see Poppy's family. I miss her little brother, because the two of them are so cute together.
Any horse mad girl is bound to love this for the bond between Poppy and Cloud alone. But this is more than a simple horse story, and that's why I love it. Easily a book that can be enjoyed by younger kids, and adults alike (I'm in my late 20's and couldn't put it down). Plus, how can you not love that cover?! I'm looking forward to more of these characters and their adventures.

A horse lovers adventure book
My daughter loves these books. Poppy is not your typical, full of confidence heroine, she is shy and not always overly confident, but she is a brave, loyal friend and following her adventures with her beautiful horse has been lovely for our family.
