A really weird thing happens to 11 year old Megan Crewe when she bumps into Jack the old carthorse. She’s too busy to worry about it until she realises what a terrible secret she’s uncovered. Jack is in danger but no one will believe it except her best friend Amy. Their ideas come thick and fast, but nothing works, and as the menace creeps closer, events snowball.
A really weird thing happens to 11 year old Megan Crewe when she bumps into Jack the old carthorse. She’s too busy to worry about it until she realises what a terrible secret she’s uncovered. Jack is in danger but no one will believe it except her best friend Amy. Their ideas come thick and fast, but nothing works, and as the menace creeps closer, events snowball.
There’s a horse in Amy’s mum’s prize greenhouse, a lot of
tomato ketchup in places it shouldn’t be, a ton of heavenly chocolate, and the
dreadful taste of artificial flowers.
In all the chaos, can they save Jack? Or has the danger that
stalked the old horse turned its eye on them instead?

Note from
the Author…
I am super pleased to see my book being so well received. It's my first proper published story and to see it being taken up by so many of my horsey friends and their families is wonderful. I have many plans for Megan Crewe in the future and the support I have received has given me the motivation to keep writing. Thank you all!

I bought this book yesterday and have just spotted it here on your blog. So glad to see you showcasing it. It's a good fast moving read. I loved it even though I'm a bit (a lot) outside the target age range. I'm getting copies for all the small people attached to our family. I knew it would be good because of the comment from ace children's writer Tony Bradman on the cover.
I enjoyed Melodie's book, too, Penny! A bit of whimsy and horse-love creates an engaging read for everyone. A quick read for adults; a thought-provoking good read for the younger crowd.
