Sasha Silver is finally at Canterwood Crest, her new boarding school. Sasha has a horse named Charm. Charm is coming with her to her new boarding school. Her first day brings lots of accidents. Mean girls greet her at the stable when Charm gets spooked and goes crazy. During Charm’s spook he knocked the meanest girl off her horse.
Sasha thinks Canterwood won’t be the right school for her. You will have to wait and see if Sasha makes any friends or none. Sasha loves her horse, just like any one of us would if we had a horse, and if any one makes fun of Charm, they should be worried. I would recommend this book to any one who likes horses and drama.
