About this book
Princess Ellie would rather be in the stables than at a royal tea, and her love of ponies leads her straight into an adventure. When trouble strikes on the palace grounds, Ellie’s quick thinking and strong riding skills help her step up and make a difference. With short chapters, gentle humor, and plenty of pony action, this early chapter book is perfect for young horse lovers. Kids enjoy Ellie’s independent spirit and the behind-the-scenes peek at life in a modern-day palace.
Setting: a modern royal estate and stables in the English countryside
