"New friends. Old rivalries. And the amazing place that brings them together. Taylor Henry's life at Wildwood Stables is busier than ever. She's working with a new therapy horse program at the stables, practicing English-style riding, and still hoping to convince her horse, Prince Albert, to accept new riders. But when bratty Plum Mason brags about entering a jumping competition, Taylor can't resist taking on another project. Plum insists on entering the show as a beginner--again. Unlike Plum, Taylor really is a beginner. But does she have what it takes to win?"--Page 4 of cover.

Suzanne Weyn grew up in Williston Park, Long Island, New York. She has three sisters and a brother. As a girl, she was very interested in theatre and in reading. Louisa May Alcott was her favorite author, but she also read every Sherlock Holmes story. Suzanne lived pretty close to the ocean and going to Jones Beach was one of her favorite activities. Even today, if she goes too long without seeing the ocean, she starts feeling restless.Suzanne now lives in upper New York State with her husband, two teen daughters and Abby the cat. Her house is at the edge of the woods and is nearly 200 years old. She graduated from State University of New York at Binghamton and received her master's degree from Pace University. She teaches part-time at City College in New York.Suzanne's other books for Simon Pulse includeSouth Beach Sizzle, a romantic comedy written with Diana Gonzalez. Her novels for the Simon Pulse line "Once Upon a Time" areThe Night Dance: A Retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses,Water Song: A Retelling of the Frog Prince, andThe Crimson Thread: A Retelling of Rumplestiltskin. She very much enjoys rethinking these classic tales from an original point of view, always looking for the real psychological underpinning of the story. Suzanne is currently doing revisions on her fourth book in the line, which will be coming in 2009.Suzanne's other recent novels are includeThe Bar Code Tattoo(2004) and its sequel,The Bar Code Rebellion(2006).The Bar Code Tattoowas selected by the American Library Assoc.
