Presley and the Impossible Dream is the first book in the middle grade Windy Creek Stables series set at a rural Virginia riding school -- a 21st-century Saddle Club, full of authentic detail, realistic drama, and tons of heart. Presley's life is pretty great - she has a loving family, friends at school, and plenty of rambunctious rescue pets. There's just one little problem . . . She's never gotten to ride a horse. And her mom has banned her from ever, ever, ever getting on one. And sure, Presley knows riding can be a little dangerous, and a little expensive, but she's loved horses for as long as she can remember. She's read every book in the library about horses and horsemanship, she watches professional horse competitions on the internet, and she's always dreamed about learning to ride. So when she gets the opportunity to tag along with her stepdad on a vet visit to Windy Creek Stables, she jumps at the chance. And even after a surprise run in with Harper, a popular girl who's never given Presley a second glance, Windy Creek is everything she thought it would be . . . except, well, maybe it's a little messy? Clean and dirty saddle pads are all jumbled together, and there's a tangle of bridles hanging on a hook in the corner. Which gives Presley the perfect idea: In exchange for cleaning stalls and helping around the barn after school, Tracie, the stable owner, will give her lessons--if she can get her mom to agree to the deal.An instant New York Times bestseller!

The last thing Frisky Finn wanted was a brother. Then, when baby Buck comes along, everything on the farm seemed to change. Follow along as Finn adjusts from being the only child to an older sibling and learns that having a younger brother isn't so bad after all.
This children's book is ideal for children up to age 7 who are getting ready to, or just recently welcomed a new sibling into the family and are perhaps feeling a bit uneasy about the change.
A girl and her mother watch an unusual friendship develop between a solitary starling and a lonely pony.
The gray pony lives in the green pasture beside the barn. One day, the girl and her mother see a flock of starlings wheel over the field. When the flock moves on, one bird remains behind -- perched on the fence, near the pony.
As summer moves into autumn, the girl watches as the pony and the starling become constant companions, sharing grain, water and shade. When the days get colder, the girl begins to wonder -- what will happen when winter arrives? A blizzard blows in ... and the starling vanishes. Is this the end of a special friendship? And what will the spring bring?
The Pony and the Starling is a gentle story of changing seasons and an unlikely but enduring friendship.
