(, April 4, 2015)
The ponies Corinne loves are for sale, the mysterious ability she doesn't understand and can't control is getting her into trouble, and it seems as if she can't get anything right. Then Luca, the boy every girl wants to know, singles her out. Corinne realises that you don't have to be a loner just because you don't run with the herd - and that friendship can come from the most unexpected quarters.This combination of romance, suspense and adventure will appeal to a wide age group. This is what reviewers of the hardback version have said:"Iāve read a lot of young adult fiction and Carolyn Hendersonās āBeside Meā has one of the best teenage girl āvoicesā Iāve read.""This book is brilliant, even for someone like me, whose knowledge of horses could barely fill the back of a postage stamp! I was surprised at how easily I was able to understand it, and be taken into the imaginative, and in some places unpredictable storyline.""...this is a book for teenage girls, but as a 61-yr-old, I can truly say that it's such a ripping good yarn, that it wouldn't matter the age, or even whether the reader is a horsewoman, it holds the attention from start to finish!""A beautifully crafted and haunting story - pitch perfect for its target audience."
