Books with title Riding With The Lyntons

"Suddenly we heard blaring car horns and the screech of brakes. Then the two ponies came clattering towards us down the wrong side of the road. The oncoming car didn't have a chance. Tyres skidded on the wet surface, there was a shrill whinny and then a dreadful, sickening silence . . ." Lesley can hardly believe her luck when she moves to the country and makes friends with the horse-mad Lyntons, a family with five children, of all shapes and sizes, six ponies and two dogs. They live just up the lane and Lesley is invited to ride one of their ponies. But then she's blamed for the accident that ruins it all . ..

Riding with the Wind is a rollicking eco-adventure, a story of an unlikely friendship between Chester, a timid squirrel, and Gabby, a plucky chipmunk. Both animals share a burning desire to escape their increasingly difficult city lives, where global warming and crowding threaten their very existence. As soon as Chester and Gabby head off together, they fall into a towering waterfall and nearly drown. Fate steps in as Fire Crown, king of the crows, and Omani, a mythic spirit that dwells in the huge falls that once powered the now struggling city, rescue them. Transported by the brave son of Fire Crown, a gigantic crow named Jet-Glider, the unlikely adventurers set out in search of greener pastures. Their journey spans four seasons and takes them to far-flung and wild places in the most densely populated state in the country. Along the way, they experience fantastic creatures and constant dangers as well as the richness of the area’s history and its fragile ecology.
