About this listen

Shelby is convinced her reliable but ugly pony, Blue, is holding her back at Pony Club. If only she had a beautiful horse, everyone would see what a great rider she is. But how can Shelby buy a new horse when her parents can't even afford to pay her Pony Club fees? When she sees an ad for an eye-catching brown pony for sale or swap, Shelby thinks she's found the answer to all her problems.

Maxshine Celtic Copper - otherwise known as Brat - seems perfect. But swapping a pony who's your best friend for a highly strung horse whose beautiful brown coat washes out with shampoo, turns out to be a really bad idea. The race is on for Shelby and her friends to catch a horse thief, find her beloved Blue and return Brat to her rightful owners.

Editor reviews

A charming listen with a valuable lesson: Don't judge a book by its cover, or a horse by its coat. Shelby is convinced that her homely pony Blue is keeping her from being recognized at the Pony Club, but her parents barely have money for the fees, let alone a new pony. When Shelby manages to swap Blue for a horse with a gorgeous brown coat, everything seems to be looking up. Then the color on the horse's coat comes out with shampoo, and Shelby realizes she has a stolen animal. Will she be able to catch the thief in time to rescue Blue? Girls who love horses will be smitten with this story, and Alison Bell's heartfelt performance conveys the passion perfectly.

Critic reviews

"A 'horse' book that will entertain readers whether or not they have an interest in horses." (Magpies Magazine)
"Shelby is sure it is her faithful pony, Blue that is letting her down at the Pony Club. When she sees an advertisement for a beautiful pony for sale or swap, Shelby swaps loyal Blue for the other pony with disastrous consequences. A well-written book with characters readers will be able to identify with. Although the story may be a little long for some, the language and style will suit the upper primary reader, especially girls who like exciting adventure and horse stories. Useful for: friendship, horses, adventure, stealing, family relationships." (Fiction Focus)
