The Wild Boy and Queen Moon
(Corgi)
978-0552527507, RRP £3.50, Paperback
10-14 Middle/Secondary
Packed storytelling and a great deal more than just horses. The title suggests fantasy but the book actually settles for the realism of teenage friends centred on a livery stables. It's rich in relationships and the tensions of family and friendship, and there's a great deal of adventure including a mysterious set of robberies. This is the kind of book to move readers on a stage further, working from the comforts of the horse story but exploring the issues and characters more deeply.
