Please stop calling the TB series junk becuase the characters have changed. Joannas gonna write an explanation for the gap between 23 and 24. Don't kill the series just becuase new writers took over and changed it a bit. It should be getting better now with Joanna back in the Pilots seat. How can you call this book bad if you hav'nt read it yet, huh?

I loved this book. It was nicely wriitten.

Tribe was happy to be with Mel. I enjoyed this book.

i love these books, i have them all. i have read them over and over, but what i dont get is why one book is about christina, then ashleigh then melanie? stay in one place .... keep the characters together...i mean there could be a x-mas book where everyone comes back, cindy, samantha, tor, mandy, yvonne, all those people. for the most part, i dont care who the characters are as long as there are always more books to read..

As you know, Joanna Campbell's first Ashleigh book comes out in August or September. The books are about before Ashleigh and her family have to move to Townsend Acres. The first three books are, "Lightning's Last Hope", "A Horse for Christmas" and "Waiting for Stardust." After writing these three books she says that she would like to write a couple of Supers to explain the gap between #23 &#24. She also says that the deadlines are SO tight now (a book a month) that she can't possibly write all the books. Nor does she think that several different writers producing a book a month will enhance the quality of the series. All of that is in the publisher's hands, not hers.

When mel learns that she actually WILL have to move back to the cuty, she's upset. yea, she can ride at the riding school, but...she left and didn't come back since the death of the horse she was riding out in the streets. All blamed her for it.

However, Melanie soon learns that she gets to take her fave lil spunky pony, trib, with her. However, in the city...

trib grows gloomy and depressed. He doesn't belong in the hustle and bustle! he belongs in the white fences and sprouting green grass and throughbreds at Whitebrook. The vet soon dtermines that trib is under dperession.

melanie is upset. She won't go top see trib till break! Fianlly, her father signs over the guardianship to The reeses. Melanie can now call Whitebrook home-for good.

I really like this book better than the other eventing series. When I heard Ashleigh mention Cindy, I waz soo happy it actaully put a smile on my face. I hatesd cindy when she waz with glory, storm, champion, honor and all those but I really miss her. Like she always said my horse my horse but she loved racing. and she is a good character. So I cant wait till I get to book , 34, On The Track. It finally gets back to racing for good I hope. But anyway, I really liked this book. U can almost feel how misarble Melaine felt. I even knew tribs would be home sick and give Melanie an excuse for staying in t he city. [...]

I love this book. I think that it is one of the best books in the series
