Product Description: "That's it, then," said Deborah "I don't want you to beat me at Scrabble with horse words. I don't want you to read to me from your horse books. I want each of you to tell me a real-life story that really happened to you."
"Great," said Stevie. "There was the time Belle and I--"
"No. I want to hear stories that don't have anything to do with horses."
"What for?" Carole asked.
"Well, my baby is going to be surrounded by horses and horse talk all of his life. Horses are fun, but they aren't everything. I'd like to know that somehow, something other than horses was ever important to the three of you. I've got to admit that I find the idea that I'm about to be a mother even scarier than the idea that I'm about to have a baby. So, I need some help. I know I can always get help from you about horses. Give me some help about mothering."
The girls looked at one another.
"No horses?" Carole asked.
"Not a one," Deborah said.
There was a long silence.
"How about a cup of tea?" Lisa asked.
"Sure," Deborah agreed. "It'll probably help inspire your storytelling. I'll let you fix the tea. The doctor said I shouldn't eat anything, so just bring me some ice chips to munch on. I'll wait here for you." She put her feet up on a chair, leaned back, and closed her eyes.
The girls hurried out of the living room into the kitchen, where they had a quick conference.
"Is she okay?" Stevie asked.
"No horses?" Carole echoed, still stunned by the idea that she might actually have something to say that didn't have to do with her favorite subject. When she wrote a history paper, it was about the cavalry in the Civil War. In English, she'd only been happy when they'd read "Charge of the Light Brigade." Horses were everywhere in Carole's life. She always assumed that that was fine with everyone around her. Now Deborah wanted something else.
Really good, and so funny! In this book, the saddle club girls have to tell a story about before they rode. Stevie and Lisa can do it, but Carole has to pretend that a pony is a dog! This book is just so funny! Of course it is good, because why would I be reading the saddle club still if they were boring?!
AWESOME! This book is great! I love The Saddle Club, but this is one of the best. When the 3 members of the saddle club try to tell Deborah, Max's wife, about a time before they rode horses, it turns out that all of their stories turned out to be related to horses. I highly recomend this book!
GO, BONNIE! This book is TOTALLY AWESOME! DEFINATLY one of Bonnie's best. You see, Debora,(Max's wife) is getting ready to have a baby. And Debora asks The Saddle Club to tell her a story, THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HORSES! LISA tells about how her mother sent her to "Charm School." STEVIE tells about some of the "Pranks" she played when she was young. And CAROLE tells about how she found a "Puppy Dog",NOT! A LIE TO BE SURE! (A fun lie, I might add.) The, "Puppy Dog" was really a horse, OF CORSE!
A must-read! This is an awesome book.Possibly my favorite.I'm so glad I read it (three times)!If you like the Saddle Club,you have to read it. (p.s.I'm not in one of those poor excuses for a Saddle Club such as the 'Stable Club'.I just like to read them,and acctually appreciate them.)
Very Good BooK!!!!!! This book was very good. It is my most favorite of all the Super Editions. I had always wondered what the 3 girls lives had been like. I really enjoyed the book!
