“Lal Verney loved to go riding but she didn't often have the chance, for her parents
hadn't
much money to spare and she herself was too shy to join a club or hover hopefully
round
the local stables. it was lovely when Joss Merton nvited her to come over each
day and ride
Cuffy, Joss's lively and affectionate bay pony. Joss and Lal soon became
fast friends, but
then Joss was told her family were moving to a city, with no place
for Cuffy. Joss couldn’t
bear to sell Cuffy,Shy as she was, Lal knew that between
her friendship for Joss and
affection for Cuffy, she would have no rest unless she
tried to help.”

“Vicky has her own private bathroom and a father witha Rolls Royce: Alison is the
powerful leader of her 'set' at
school: The Sherwood's have a secret society and
do good deeds around the village. The people in this book
have everything. But have
they? They need more than that to cope with the problems of a broken home and a
school
corridor, and to ride through the storm as Katherine Wilde once rode to her death.”
