Book description
For sale or swap. Eye-catching brown pony. Fully educated. Royal
quality. Consider swap for beginner's mount. Shelby is convinced her
reliable but ugly pony, Blue, is holding her back at Pony Club. If only
she had a beautiful horse, everyone would see what a great rider she is.
But how can Shelby buy a new horse when her parents can't even afford to
pay her Pony Club fees? When she sees an ad for an eye-catching brown
pony for sale or swap, Shelby thinks she's found the answer to all her
problems. Maxshine Celtic Copper - otherwise known as Brat - seems
perfect. But swapping a pony who's your best friend for a highly strung
horse whose beautiful brown coat washes out with shampoo turns out to be
a really bad idea. The race is on for Shelby and her friends to catch a
horse thief, find her beloved Blue and return Brat to her rightful
owners. Alyssa Brugman has written five books about Shelby and her
pony, Blue: For Sale Or Swap, Beginner's Luck, Hot Potato, Hide &
Seek And Greener Pastures. This series has been shortlisted for a number
of Children's Choice awards and was also selected for the 2007 'Books
Alive' campaign. Alyssa's young adult novels Finding Grace, Walking
Naked, Being Bindy and Solo have been shortlisted for numerous awards in
Australia and overseas. Alyssa has also written Book Two of the new
Quentaris series, The Equen Queen. Alyssa lives in the Hunter Valley.
