Product Description
Is Melanie leaving the only place that's ever felt like home?

Melanie Graham expected Whitebrook Farm to be the most boring place in America. And she thought her cousin, Christina Reese, would be a snob.

But after an entire summer at Whitebrook, Melanie has changed her mind. Whitebrook isn't dull--it's amazing! There are so many beautiful horses, especially Trib, her favorite pony. Plus, Christina is totally cool--she's the first true friend Melanie has ever had. Now Melanie can't imagine living anywhere else.

There's just one problem: Melanie's dad wants her to return to New York City. How can she convince him to let her stay at Whitebrook--forever? --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please stop Trashing the series, September 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: A Home for Melanie (Thoroughbred Series #31) (Mass Market Paperback)

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 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..
