A tale of mystery and harassment with horses
at its heart.
SIXTEEN-year-old Zoe Stanton has only been
riding her pony Intrepid a month when disaster strikes. Intrepid suffers a serious
injury after being let out of his field and Zoe sets about finding out who is
responsible - but encounters stiff opposition. Instead of offering support, her
new friend Shirley avoids her. What is Shirley hiding? As Zoe investigates further
it becomes clear that the truth is being concealed.
It develops into a nightmare, with Zoe
suffering rejection and isolation. Intrepid wins her new friends, but she makes
a dangerous enemy in Lily, who delights in threatening and bullying her.
As Zoe deals with each crisis a bigger one
rears up. Can she outwit Lily and discover Shirley’s secret?
The Intrepid Pony takes readers
on a wonderful journey, ranging from gentleness to raw aggression, Lynne
provides an intriguing story line that paints great pictures with vivid
descriptions – plus plenty of emotion, intrigue, twists and turns. Lynne Hale’s
well written book should greatly appeal not just to schoolgirls but to people
of all ages. It is an excellent read! - Tony Flood.
