About this listen

Shelby Simone is a horse-crazy kid living in the city with her parents. Despite having the best friends ever at the exclusive Metro School for Girls, she can’t help but feel something is missing from her life.

When her parents break the news to her that they’re moving to a nearby rural community, Shelby is devastated… until her parents promise she can take riding lessons at Old Quarry Lake Farms, one of the best-known riding stables in the state! Shelby only has a month to say goodbye to city life and hello to a new world that includes horses.

After a rough start at Old Quarry Lake, Shelby starts to wonder if horses are really as wonderful as she imagined. As the summer days creep closer and closer to her first day at the Old Quarry Lake school, she worries if the trade-off was worth it.

Join a group of pre-teen girls who build a bond through their love of horses. Together, they tackle situations like moving to a new town, feeling different, and accepting themselves and each other just as they are—while sharing everyday adventures with their horses!

This book is perfect for:

  • Girls ages 9-13
  • Young listeners who have experienced moving to a new home, making new friends, and feeling awkward in new places
  • Listeners who love horses and want to learn more about them
  • Aspiring horseback riders and those who want to try horseback riding lessons
  • Parents who have children who are obsessed with horses
  • Teachers looking for materials that deal with sensitive emotional issues
  • Families of young listeners who are experiencing anxiety over a change

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A delightful story for children and tweens

This is a delightful story for children and tweens. You follow Shelby, a young girl who loves horses but has to move away to another town. She deals with trying to fit in and moving to a new place. It’s a lovely story that adults and kids will enjoy together and that covers important life lessons, such as adapting to change and challenges.
