A Stable For Jill (The Jill Books by Ruby Ferguson Book 2)

The Jill series is one of the classics of pony fiction. In this second book, disaster has hit Jill's plans. No pony-filled summer for her: her mother is going to America, and so Jill must go and stay with her defiantly un-horsy cousin, Cecilia. Cecilia's idea of a good summer pursuit is pressing flowers. It's not Jill's. But there is hope on the horizon, when Jill meets a family who are desperate to find a way they can keep their pony. Jill suggests they all get together and start their own stable.There are a few minor problems to be got over: the fact they only have one pony to start the stable with, for one. The tatty state of the stables doesn't help either, but this is a Jill book, and horses and ponies do appear.Full of Ruby Ferguson's trademark humour, this story sees Jill brilliantly contrasted with Cecilia. And ponies there are, in plenty.
