Bonnie Wyndham’s mother has enrolled her at Almonside, a school that pays particular attention to sports. Since she has been kicked out of several schools Almonside is Bonnie’s last chance at private school. At Almonside Bonnie can major in something she really loves. Riding horses. However, her attitude is still just as bad and almost immediately she starts conflict with her riding instructor Ruth Caradon. As they go head-to-head the question is: who will win?

Well-written with a tight plot and interesting characters. Troubled Bonnie is really a brat of the first order. Ruth Caradon has issues of her own that she thought were in the past, but dealing with Bonnie brings them back. The battle of wills was interesting to watch as Bonnie acted on emotion and Caradon worked mostly on gut instinct. The ending was quite a surprise. Another great read by Alan Davidson.

Book description
Bonnie Wyndham is proud of having been thrown out of three schools, and is now on her first day at Almonside, a school with a proud tradition of sporting excellence, and which has its own stables. Bonnie’s mother is desperate for her to succeed at this school, but Bonnie is even more determined not to. The riding teacher at Almonside, Miss Caradon, is unphased by Bonnie’s awful bolshiness, and slowly, very slowly, Bonnie does come round.
