What's Wrong with My Pony?

Pony Pals #33

by Jeanne Betancourt

Pam is concerned when her pony starts behaving strangely and stops eating, and Pam wonders if Lightning's behavior is because the pony is mad at her, or maybe she has grown to tall to ride her pony, or maybe Lightning is physically ill.

About the author

When I was growing up I never thought of being an author. I was a terrible speller and didn't want to write any more than I had to. I wanted to be a tap dancer when I grew up. After a few years of teaching junior high and high school, I wrote my first novel. It was a surprise to discover that I liked making up stories and writing them down. I liked it so much that eventually I stopped teaching and became a fulltime writer.

Besides novels for children and young adults, I've also told stories by writing scripts for television and the movies.

I live on the top floor of a sixteen-story building near the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. From my apartment I have a view of Manhattan that includes the Empire State Building and the Plaza Hotel. In my free time I draw, paint, and read. I still love to dance.

Some people think that a writer's life is lonely. But when I'm writing a story I don't feel lonely because I am actively involved with lots of interesting people – the characters in my books. I love knowing that some day readers will get to know these characters, too. If you are one of my readers I hope you have as much enjoyment in reading my stories as I have writing them.

One day, when Pam tries to ride Lightning, Lightning doesn't pay any attention to Pam's signals. Lightning even bucks her off! What's wrong with Lightning? To find out, you will have to read this book!
This book is great! I really like it. I like it because it is really interesting, and I always want to know what happens next.

Pony Pals was one of my favourite "horsey" series growing up. Jeanne Betancourt has a writing skill that makes the books easy to read and interesting. I read many of the series and I was enthralled with each new story.
