New home. New friendships. New rules.
Thirteen-year-old Misty's life is about to be turned upside down. When her dad loses his job, they both have to move to Redbridge - far away from her home and her friends. This new town brings plenty of surprises - Misty wasn't expecting to live on an estate where ponies run free, and she certainly wasn't expecting to meet Dylan, a mysterious local boy who loves horses...

Misty is determined to keep up appearances and hide her new life from her friends at all costs. But when the horses she has grown to love come under threat, will she have the courage to help save the place she now calls home?

A heart-warming story of friendship, family and overcoming new challenges... with added ponies! A perfect preteen read Beautifully written; sophisticated, sensitive and dealing with huge themes with such a lightness of touch An encouraging story about a teenager navigating familiar problems - with added Sparkle A sweet story of family, acceptance - and horses!

A touching and convincing portrait of an adolescent forced to grow up before her time... At the heart of this uplifting book is a time-old story of the transformative bond between animal and child The book will appeal to teens who like friendship drama and realistic novels where characters are resourceful and determined to make a difference An excellent equine adventure Praise for The Mystery of the Missing Mum: An age-appropriate ode to "perfectly imperfect" families More family story than whodunit, the plot turns toward emotional discoveries via an arc of maturation and finding hope despite life's uncertainties A heartfelt story told with such passion and authenticity it will stick with you as though it was a memory of your very own A comic yet deceptively observant adventure story about a boy searching for his vanished mother It's a tender and truthful glimpse of what it is to be part of a family where mental health can be an issue, and also shows us how families can remain families, even through break-ups and distances. A beautiful and moving story about class, prejudice, families and the healing power of animals
