'Julie Gordon wins an American Field Scholarship that takes her to Cincinnati, Ohio, for a year. It's a year full of new experiences and new people. There's her "family", the Hembraugers, and their zany daughter Marilyn; Oakland High School, with its Sock Hops, Pep Assemblies and the Senior Prom. There's the whole, different American way of life - Thanksgiving and Halloween, pumpkin pie and blueberry waffles. And, as Julie soon finds out, there's even a different language.

Naturally, Julie is soon caught up in the whirl of activity, as well as becoming involved in a kidnapping on her first day at school.' (From frontispiece)

From the first it's obvious this is going to be anything but a dull holiday. Frankie makes an immediate enemy of the overbearing Roger Brampton. One of their room mates, Lisa MacMillan, hates the camp and tries to run away, while the other, Barbara Johnson, sneers at beginners like Julie. And then there's learning to ride and jump! Somehow Julie tackles it all, and when the climax comes and three of them are faced with a grim decision, they find they've learnt a lot more about horses and people.' (Frontispiece)
