AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'An action-packed adventure about horses, bats and letting your imagination run wild, from the popular author of Smooch & Rose.

Charli is at riding camp and her dream is about to become true – she will finally learn to ride a real, live horse.

But when snobby Breanna picks the horse Charli wants her heart bungees to her toes. Instead of the beautiful palomino Razz, Charli's stuck riding the massive retired racehorse Spud. And what about the hundreds of bats that fly overhead while they ride? Don't they have a terrible disease?

Riding camp isn't turning out the way Charli imagined especially when she finds herself in charge of a life-threatening disaster. How on earth can Charli save the entire camp from certain death?

Sometimes things aren't as they seem and you need to know the facts before getting carried away by your imagination.' (Publisher's blurb)
