Starting Gate

Let me start by saying that the publisher was an idiot when it put the Saddle Club books into paperback with photograph covers. If I had not read the back of this book I would have never been interested in it. I'm glad that I did though because this is an excellent book! One of my favorite minor characters in the Saddle Club books is Skye Ransom, a handsome male actor about Lisa's age. While going to a large Pony Club event in California the Saddle Club meets up with Skye and learns about his problems on the set of his new racetrack movie. There are rumors going around about Skye that are threatening to damage his reputation and friendships on the set. The Saddle Club goes into full action helping their friend but when Veronica takes off during the Pony Club trials to go shopping, only one rider can help them out!

The Saddle Club (plus Veronica diAnglo) are going to California for a pony club ralley. The meet up with Sky Ramson, the movie-star friend. He is having trouble on the set. Can the Saddle Club help? Also, a very dumb driver is supposed to take their horses to Richmond, then another driver picks them up. Or does he?

I love the Saddle Club Series! I especially love this book! Carole, Lisa, and Stevie are heading to California! They meet up with their friend Skye and decide to help him because he is about to loose his job! :O! The Saddle Club are more than willing to help and Veronica is more than willing to take Skye's place! When the Saddle Club's Horses are gone, and show time is coming up, there seems like nothing to do! I have read the Saddle Club series for a while and I just love about every book! Many people think Bonnie Bryant is getting rusty in her writing but I think it is just getting better! I hope everyone out there enjoys the Saddle Club as much as me! :)

I enjoyed this book alot. Stevie, Lisa, and Carole are on their way to california to show in a pony club rally and when they get there their friend Skye the movie actor needs their help in solving a mystery some one wants skye out of the movie so some one else can star in the movie. Not only doesthe saddle club help their friend but he also in turns helps them out in a weird but wacky way.
