A passion for ponies means that winning a scholarship to a school with fabulous stables is a dream come true for Taren, that is until one of the girls takes an instant dislike to the newcomer and decides to make her life miserable from the start. Luckily, her new friend Max makes life a little more bearable. Having been brought up with three brothers, Taren is a great footballer and the girls’ football team is keen to try her out until Taren is unfairly blamed for injuring a pony owned by the nasty bully girl and they question whether she should be invited to join them. Finding herself banned from the school’s stables until her name is cleared, is heart wrenching for her, particularly as she wonders whether her kindness might help a rescued and lonely pony living there. Battle lines having been drawn means that it is up to Taren to try to prove her innocence and find her way to fit in with the other students. Would she be able to do that? Ponies, friendship, football and truth make this a really excellent romp of a read.

The evil wizard Malvic is on the rise again and a war is coming. While away learning warrior skills, Autumn is shocked to hear that a village has been attacked. It turns out that the perpetrators were searching for a magical book which could aid in the fight against the wizard. After helping trace the fleeing villagers and in the company of Alpha, the wolf-cat and her friend, Yulia they set their sights on searching for Yulia’s unknown kin, a strange secretive tribe who live deep in the desert and who specialise in the art of dream-walking and swordsmanship. Alton, the Librarian and Tan are also on the move and oddly Otto, the Lord’s son has announced that he will join them on their travels. The purpose of the journey is to seek out the well of magic that Alton has read about which could help them defeat Malvic. But where is Shining Leaves when they need him? He has not been seen for some time and he might be a fierce dragon, but Tan is nevertheless very concerned about the dragon’s safety. A Wolf-Cat Called Alpha is an exhilarating children’s fantasy story and the second book in the Adventures of a Dragon Called Shining Leaves.

Wrongly accused of injuring another student, Taren is lucky to be able to escape to the “secret” stables at the school. Her good friends stand by her, but that friendship is sorely tested by the new girl who has become enamoured by Taren’s best friend, Max. It doesn’t help that the girl’s mother is a teacher at the school. At the same time, Taren’s mum finally admits that Taren has a grandmother, aunt and cousins who she has never met. Surprisingly, they own a rather fabulous stud farm where Taren’s late father was brought up. Can Taren fit in with this new family, or should she carry on as if they don’t exist? Trying to negotiate the trials and tribulations at school as well as learning about her unknown family certainly tests Taren. How can she cope with it all?
