Duke in Danger

Description

Older Bears

‘Christina! Pay attention!’

Christina lives for riding – she even daydreams about it at school. She used to have her own pony, Duke, but her parents sold him 3 years ago. Now she can only ride her best friend Jodie’s pony.

Then one day, at a horse sale, she sees a sad, scruffy grey, with a white star on his forehead. Can it be Duke? What’s happened to him? Can she get him back?

Nursing Duke back to health is a labour of love. Then, when she eventually rides out with him, she and Jodie are involved in a terrifying incident with a man with a gun. Who is he and what can he possibly want with Duke?

At last, Christina is allowed to keep Duke for good. She and Jodie practise for the English Show; working hard at their jumping. The day of the Show dawns and all seems to be going so well. Then Duke is spooked at a jump. Is that it, all the hard work gone to waste? Will there be a happy ending?
