Lauren Brooke (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 9 and up | Grade Level: 4 and up

Chestnut Hill meets Heartland when Malory, one of the premier young riders in the school's equestrian program, contacts Amy Fleming to treat a talented young horse with a mysterious history.

The tryouts for the equestrian riding team are over, and Malory earned her spot as the second-ranked rider for Chestnut Hill. Still, she doubts whether she belongs at the elite school despite receiving a top scholarship. Then the pony she’s training gets hurt, and Malory wants to ride Tybalt in the next show. But Tybalt is wary and defensive. Her instinct tells her they share a special bond, but she doesn't know how to reach him. Malory has always trusted her gut when it comes to horses, and she's willing to bet her future at Chestnut Hill that Tybalt has what it takes to win.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Impressed With Second Book, November 24, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Making Strides (Chestnut Hill #2) (Paperback)

This a great book, and it is about Malory who is at Chestnut Hill. I won't spoil it but Malory uses Amy's help to try to tame an abused horse, but what if it doesn't work and Malory has to give him away? This a fantastic book and worth while reading. If you are a horse lover and you don't read it you are missing out on something. If you read the first book and didn't enjoy it you will enjoy this book a lot more because Amy is in the book a lot more.All my friends will agree with me that this is a good book. So, please read this book because you'll enjoy it a lot, belive me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chestnut Hill- Making Strides, November 12, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Making Strides (Chestnut Hill #2) (Paperback)

I LOVED this book so much! Mallory is the main character this time around. When she finds Tybalt I was sure that it was Zanziber and that it would be a story of reunitence. But it's not. Tybalt is distressed and just needs a friend (enter Mallory) Mallory trains with Amy Flemming ( join up) and Tybalt lets her ride him. Mallory and Tybalt are soon good enough to jump in a comp with the St. Kitts Boys!
- This was the BEST book, I didn't put it down!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Making Strides (Chestnut Hill #2) (Paperback)

This book is awesome! Iliked it more than the first. I was worried about this series because I think the last couple heartland books were kind of boring. I recomend Heartland series, All American Girl, and sisterhood of the traveling pants.
