Waterstones Children’s Book of the Month
Here is what Sarah Clayton at Waterstones had to say about the book:
“It is National Velvet for the 21st Century and reminded me so much of the books I loved to read growing up. A breath of fresh air in a fairly serious teen market and no content issues to stop you recommending it to good readers aged 10+. Fifteen year old Casey Blue lives in East London’s grimmest tower block with her father who has recently been convicted of theft. When she rescues a starving, half wild horse from the knacker’s yard, she sets out to defy all the odds at the world famous Badminton Horse Trials.”
