This new series will absolutely delight young horse and pony lovers. Written by Esme Higgs, who will be extremely well known to any young person with an interest in horses, in conjunction with the hugely popular children’s author Jo Cotterill , the books are set in the Starlight Stables livery and feature a group of young people who like nothing better than being there with the horses and ponies.
This opening story stars Summer whose dream has always been to ride a pony. She didn’t think it could ever come true, but then she makes friends with Jessie, who introduces her to Starlight Stables. Summer is in heaven, learning to groom, muck out and saddle the ponies, and getting to ride them too.
The camaraderie of the stables and the sheer joy she experiences there help her come to terms with the fact that her parents are splitting up, and we know she’s made friends for life. There’s drama when Summer’s favourite pony is stolen, but the newly formed Starlight Stables Gang are determined to get Luna back, and they do.
A satisfying mix of friendship, adventure and ponies, it’s a great read and lots of fun. Pony perfection for young readers!
Fans of Clare Balding and Jacqueline Wilson will love this fun and heartwarming new adventure series for animal-mad 8-12 year olds from superstar equestrian influencer Esme Higgs!

Summer has always loved horses but she never thought she'd be able to learn how to ride them - not with money being so tight at home. Then she discovers the Starlight Stables where she meets a new gang of friends and learns how to ride in return for helping-out with the horses. It's a dream come true!
Summer falls in love with life at the stables and especially with Luna, a beautiful dapple-grey pony. But one day, Summer arrives at the stables to find that Luna has been stolen in the night. It's up to the Starlight Stables Gang to follow the clues and rescue Luna before it's too late! Full of fun, friendship and and mystery, this is the first book in the brand-new Starlight Stables Gang series.
Beautifully illustrated by Hannah George.

Jo Cotterill's first story at the age of five was a festive one entitled 'Chismas'. After writing a lot of stories about unicorns, she decided at the age of thirteen to become an actress. Her professional acting career was enjoyable but frustrating, so she became a teacher instead, writing stories on the side. Her first book was published in 2004, and she gave up teaching in 2009. Jo now lives in Oxfordshire and fits writing around her young family. She enjoys music and card-making, and is an avid fan of Strictly Come Dancing. Find her on Instagram @jocotterillbooks
