Muck & Magic by Michael Morpurgo

It’s always been Bonny’s dream to become an Olympic cyclist and she’s fast, too! So fast in fact that her parents are determined that she could be a pro. But Bonny’s world is turned upside down when she takes a tumble off her bike while cycling through the countryside and she spots a field full of beautiful horses. Bonny is instantly hooked and goes back every day to see them, when one day she meets their owner, Lizzie. Lizzie’s an artist who paints and sculpts the horses!

Bonny can’t think of anything better than trying to capture the majesty of the horses on paper and is delighted when Lizzie offers her a job helping to look after the horses and maybe even learning to ride! What will Bonny choose, does she still want to cycle or is her newfound love of horses and art too strong to ignore?
