I soo love this series I read these books alota nd I'm turning ten. The 4th book in the series the book before this one is Behind the bit. read it peps!

Here's the thing: When TAKE THE REINS came out, I picked it up for one reason, and one reason only: I read Jessica Burkhart's blog, and she was so excited about her début novel that *I* was excited about her début novel. I'm not really into horses, not into the new-girl-clashing-with-the-popular-mean-girl plot, not into middle-grade novels. But I really enjoyed the first book, so I kept reading the series.

In TRIPLE FAULT, Sasha still isn't speaking to Callie and Jacob, too hurt by their betrayal. No matter that she like-likes Eric. She wants nothing more than to be his girlfriend, but she's sure that keeping their relationship secret is the key to making sure nothing happens to ruin it. More than that, Jasmine King--who makes Heather look très sweet--has transferred to Canterwood with an "I'm so innocent" act that fools everyone, and no one on the seventh-grade advanced team is going to give her a chance. Too bad this is Jasmine King, who won't take no for an answer.

I think that this series is getting better and better. In the first book, Burkhart jumped from scene to scene a lot; there didn't seem to be a lot of connectedness. In TRIPLE FAULT, the fourth book, the storyline read more smoothly. The characters are growing more and more distinct; Burkhart's characters aren't incredibly nuanced, but she adds layers here and there. Like Jasmine? In the previous books, I hated her, but in this book, some of her "shy new girl" act might have fooled me. Sasha is far from perfect (her big problem with Callie dating Jacob is that Callie didn't tell her, yet Sasha is now doing the same thing; and she doesn't give Jasmine another chance), but she's an extremely likeable protagonist who usually acts her age. And I love that Eric and Sasha have a solid friendship that developed over the two previous books; I liked that it took time for Sasha to realize which guy she really liked.

If you want your tween daughter to be reading something "wholesome", CANTERWOOD CREST might not be the series. The characters--including Sasha--have their good and bad moments, and there's no moral imparted at the end of the books (just cliffhangers). But in my opinion, CANTERWOOD CREST is definitely a great series for tween girls, especially those who like some drama in what they read.

i bought this book from Amazon for my daughter. She likes these type of books. It was cheap and came promptly for Christmas. Thanks for making her Christmas special. It was in great condition. I will buy from Amazon again.

I ride horses a lot and I actually learned a lot from this. (like a horse treat recipie and how to improve my working trot)

Great excitement. All the other books basically led up to this. I loved it, and I would totally buy it if I were you

Sasha's still reeling from the Callie/Jacob news. She's hurt beyond belief and she can't deal with looking at them, let alone talking to them. Plus, she's still not able to ride thanks to the stunt the Belle's pulled on their team. With nothing left to do, she's been groom Charm like crazy and paying attention to her school work so she won't fall behind again. A bonus to hanging around the stable -seeing Eric. When he confesses that he wants to date her, she's over the moon. But she's unwilling to take their relationship public after what happened with Jacob and the Trio. But the Trio have their hands full with newcomer Jas. Jas has pulled too many tricks on them to bury the hatchet and no one on the team trusts her. Does she have another trick up her sleeve? Once riding starts up again, Sasha's pulled in all directions - Callie wants to patch things up, Eric wants to take her out on a date, and Paige's TV debut is just weeks away. Can Sasha juggle everything and keep everyone happy?

I devoured this book! The covers rock - so fresh and fun and featuring cute riding gear. The books always make me want to go riding. I adore these books - an incredibly sweet and perfect blend of friendship, horses, drama, and romance.
