What do you get when you put an insecure, inexperienced, but spunky teen on a spirited horse? A laugh a minute. Fifteen-year-old Xander Moloney receives an exciting invitation from her friend Brynn to go on an all-expense-paid horse riding tour in Ireland. The problem? She doesn’t know how to ride! On the sly, she takes English riding lessons with hilarious results.
While in Ireland, she meets new challenges like staying on a runaway horse, riding down the side of a mountain, and overcoming her fear of heights to save a friend. In the process, she grows from an awkward, naive girl to a more confident person who discovers she can do just about anything she tackles. Along the way, she experiences magical Ireland – the history, the people, the legends, the music, the dance, the food, the spectacular scenery – and has her first romance.
This humorous, fast-paced adventure for the 12-16 age group takes the reader for a ride she’ll never forget.
