Series: Timber Ridge Riders—Book Seven Ages: 9-13 Kate McGregor and her best friend, Holly Chapman, have swapped horses until Kate qualifies for the big show in April. But just as Kate is getting to really know Holly’s gelding, Magician, a flashy new horse shows up at the barn. He captures the heart of everyone except his owner and sends Kate’s plans tumbling into free fall, as does Brad Piretti, the local snowboarding star. He invites Kate to go skiing, and Kate takes yet another unexpected tumble. Meanwhile Holly has set her sights on getting her mom and Kate’s dad together, as in Holly’s favorite movie, The Parent Trap. But the unwelcome involvement of their high school principal turns those plans upside down as well. In the middle of all this, Kate’s biggest rival, Angela Dean, returns from winter vacation. Angela is coping with demons of her own and ends up turning the tables on Kate in a way that nobody expects.
