Horn Book Review

Horse-crazy Tori and her sister Miranda are thrilled to be at their grandmother's pony ranch for the summer. The sisters squabble, they break safety rules, a puppy goes missing, and Tori is eventually allowed to ride the new wild pony Gran has acquired. Despite the opening book's thin plot, this new series has appeal; stiff black-and-white illustrations assist new readers in decoding. (c) Copyright 2016.
