Lottie’s Dream
£7.99
Lottie Manderson is passionate about horse riding. Deliberately failing the exam to go to a new school, she plans to spend all her free time with her sturdy, feisty and much-adored pony, Patch. But even with the help of her grandmother, Lottie has a battle on her hands. And when Granny convinces Lottie to skip school and go to the Badminton Grassroots event, it’s no surprise that her parents are really angry. But by now, a spark has ignited in Lottie’s heart and it sets her on a path to pursue her dream of eventing. Meanwhile, when Lottie’s grandad has an accident, it’s very clear that the yard at Wild Hill is facing financial disaster. And even Lottie’s brother – a talented horseman – appears to be quite happy to let it fall apart so they can sell up. It seems that the only person Lottie can really talk to is Felix, the quiet, rich boy from the stables behind the high fence. But whose side is he on?
Old rivalries, new friends and a fresh start. Can Lottie rebuild her connection with Patch enough to get them to the championships and one step closer to her dream?
“A fantastic story, full of deep family secrets and all the details on horse care and showing that readers will love” – Holly Webb
In this second gripping adventure, Lottie works hard to heal her bond with Patch, desperate to learn how to hear him. But ever since the Rhinefields Show when he galloped off, Patch has been detached and afraid…
Meanwhile, Lottie’s friendship with Felix is over and she feels betrayed. But when he texts her out of the blue, she realises how much she’s missed him. Could she trust him again? And why does he need her help? As more secrets emerge, Lottie and Felix try to make sense of the photograph he found and the old connection between their two families.
With Wild Hill up for sale, there’s still so much to overcome. Lottie knows that without Wild Hill, there will be no more time with Patch. And without Patch, there is no dream.
“It has echoes of all the classic horse stories I loved but with a wonderful modern twist!” Catherine Bruton
