Everyone tells Libby to live up to her potential, but her mother decides to give the lessons to her older sister, Brittany, instead, and Libby cant believe it. Libbys mom says Brittany needs the lessons more, to cure her boy crazy phase. Then Libby stumbles upon High Hope Farm and meets a horse named Princess who has been put out to pasture. Now Libby can live up to her potential, and so will everyone around her, too. With text and illustrations from Elise Primavera, author of Auntie Claus and Louise the Big Cheese acclaim, this first in a series will appeal to anyone interested in horsesor who knows the value of having a good friend. The well-written story teaches the gentle lesson that life can be unfair, but persistence and passion ultimately pay off (School Library Journal).
