I was intrigued by this book from the off set. We have recently got in to reading books about horses and unicorns but this sound like it had something else. A good mystery. (I’m a fan of cozy crime and real life crime - so this sounded like it had something for both Little Bookworm and myself) Full of fun, friendship and mystery, this is the first book in the brand-new Starlight Stables Gang series.

The Starlight Stables Gang

The Starlight Stables Gang is a new children's chapter book series for ages 9-12 years, and this book has left my 10 year old daughter and I pining for the next book in the series. The characters and horses in this book are just so sweet and likeable! After solving the mystery of the stolen pony, the Starlight Stables Gang are ready to have a relaxing summer and enjoy the Haversham Horse Trials, but things aren't as sunny as they seem. Can the Starlight Stables Gang band together and work as a team once again, or will it prove too much for one of the friends?

The Starlight Stables Gang is written from the point of view of Summer, a young girl who lives in a flat with her dad. She has Dyslexia so struggles with reading and we know that her mum isn't around but don't know why. When Summer meets Jessie and starts going to Starlight Stables her life takes an upturn. The characters are really well written with sensitivity and understanding. Summer reminds me a bit of me. I love how kind all the adults are in the book. I can't wait to find out more about Daniel as I think he may have hidden depths! Fans of Clare Balding and Jacqueline Wilson will love this fun and heartwarming new adventure series for animal-mad 8-12 year olds from superstar equestrian influencer Esme Higgs!Summer falls in love with life at the stables and especially with Luna, a beautiful dapple-grey pony. But one day, Summer arrives at the stables to find that Luna has been stolen in the night. It's up to the Starlight Stables Gang to follow the clues and rescue Luna before it's too late! When I was younger I used to love reading the chestnut hill books as I loved horses. This one definitely reminded me of being younger and staying up late to read those books. This would be perfect for any young girls who love ponies and dream of having their own one day! I loved how all of the technical vocab was explained in an easy to understand way that didn’t interrupt the story, as well as having a great storyline and some seriously cute kittens! Summer has always loved horses but she never thought she’d be able to learn how to ride them – not with money being so tight at home. Then she discovers the Starlight Stables where she meets a new gang of friends and learns how to ride in return for helping-out with the horses. It’s a dream come true! The characters are great and so well written. I think Daniel was our favourite because he is mis understood at first but realises that he’s not alone and how much others are there for him when he lets them in. I also love the friendship between Jessie and Summer. Nothing is going to come between them. Summer falls in love with life at the stables and especially with Luna, a beautiful dapple-grey pony. But one day, Summer arrives at the stables to find that Luna has been stolen in the night. It’s up to the Starlight Stables Gang to follow the clues and rescue Luna before it’s too late!
