Book description
Jethro Junior is a star jumping horse, tested out by Kirstie over a
long, hot summer. The creeks are dry and the threat of forest fires
looms large. So when townie campers carelessly discard a lighted match
on Eagle's Peak, it's not long before a bush fire rages. First on the
scene, Kirstie must ride for help - but there's only one way out, and it
involves Jethro jumping the biggest obstacle ever... Born and brought
up in Harrogate, Yorkshire, Jenny Oldfield went on to study English at
Birmingham University, where she did research on the Bronte Novels and
on Children's Literature. She then worked as a teacher, before deciding
to concentrate on writing. She writes novels for both children and
adults and, when she can escape from her desk, likes to spend time
outdoors. She loves the countryside and enjoys walking, gardening,
playing tennis, riding and travelling with her two daughters, Kate and
Eve.
