Daughter loves these books! Good clean reading! This series is something that I can feel good about my daughter reading.

Still love this series. Maggie Dana doesn't disappoint. Not my favorite one but still great. Highly recommended read this series.

We have kids who love the series of Timber Ridge riders so they are always checked out.

loved it

Very good enjoyed my time reading.

Not as good as the other books in the series but still a great quick read.

More stories of horsey girls having fun and adventures. Kate and Holly have become sisters due to their parents getting married to each other, and share a love of horses. I've read a couple of the earlier books and liked them. By now the girls have met many people and had plenty of adventures; they have even travelled to England where they met a girl their own age who is a Princess of a small, now-vanished European country. For this tale they are back at Timber Ridge Farm in America.The Princess, whose nickname is Twiggy, comes to spend the summer and her father insists she bring a bodyguard, who is female and has some unexpected attributes. Like being a great rider. They can all school in the arena. But Kate feels left out in other ways because she has always been a simple girl at heart while Holly is much more interested in glitz and glamour which Twiggy carries effortlessly. Of course, some of the locals fawn on the titled young lady - such a nuisance!I didn't enjoy this one so much as Riding For The Stars. This is a long way further down the series and by now it feels like a soap opera with constant references to previous events like an attempt to create a theme park, the trip to England, a horse rescued and a horse sold, how people met, a museum financed and a film made with the girls as stunt riders. A good quarter of the book is taken up in this fashion before the current adventure gets under way.When the tale concentrates on the immediate characters and events it is good, with lots of nice horsey atmosphere and training, a frisson of danger, mild friction between the girls to stop it getting too sweet, and inclusive characterisation. Fans of the series will no doubt want to pick it up and see what the girls get up to with the princess on their home turf.One point I liked is that the wealthy Angela has given her reason for not loving any horse - her mother is all too likely to sell her horse and buy her one perceived as better. She has just learned not to get attached. This makes a lot of sense and helps us see this sometimes uncaring girl in a more reasonable light.I'm a bit concerned that when one girl finds she is getting creepy e-mails her first decision is not to tell her mother. While she does decide to tell someone, a parent is a good place to start. The author needs to remember that girl readers finding themselves in a similar circumstance may lack guidance.A copy of this book was sent to me for an unbiased review.

This review is by my daughter, who it was purchased for: As usual, an amazing book! I'm 14 and love these books as it gives me an idea of American life as I live in the Uk! I would definitely recommend to teens/young adults who enjoy a good book with the added bonus of horses and they also include situations that one may also encounter in their life! Every book Maggie writes deserves a 5 star rating!!

MS Dana keeps up her to her skills of story telling and again a good read

Another hit by one of my most favourite authors.Every single book in the Timber Ridge Riders series becomes my new favourite when I read it. Maggy Dana just can't miss. There's nothing worse than a series where characters don't develop, or the storylines become repetitive and boring. Every single book in this series is outstanding, and can be read alone, but are much more fun to read in sequence. When read in order, you really notice how the girls develop their character and become more mature. Each adventure is unique and each book is fresh, exciting and spellbinding.This series isn't just for teenage horse lovers, it's for anyone who ever was a teenage horse lover, or wished they had been.

I love this book serie! All of them are well written and it's a pleasure to read them again and again :)
