Description

Issie has landed her dream job – handling horses on a real film set! And with a group of frisky palominos to deal with, Issie asks her friends to help out. But something is afoot on set, and lead actor Angelique is hiding something. Book #4

Quick Summary

Imagine your horse-crazy friend landing a dream gig on a real movie set, where the cast includes a troupe of frisky palominos that need training for daring stunts. Issie and her pals have to wrangle the ponies, juggle the chaos of filming, and figure out why the lead actress Angelique is acting so secretive. The story mixes the thrill of behind-the-scenes movie magic with a light mystery that keeps you guessing, while also showing how teamwork and a bit of responsibility can save the day. It's a great pick for kids who love horses, movies, or just a fun, fast-paced adventure, and it works especially well for reluctant readers because the short chapters and lively dialogue keep the pages turning. Parents will appreciate the positive messages about friendship, perseverance, and animal care, with only mild, age-appropriate tension and plenty of humor to keep things cozy. If you've ever enjoyed the saddle-club camaraderie of the Saddle Club books, you'll find this one a perfect next read.
