Emily Edwards knows everything there is to know about horses.
There’s just one problem—she’s never ridden one.

Twelve-year-old Emily has spent years preparing for her equestrian future. She’s devoured horse books, memorized riding techniques, and watched more how-to videos than she can count. When she wins an essay contest and earns a scholarship to a week of horse camp, she knows it’s the moment she’s been waiting for.

At camp, Emily is eager to shine. But the no-nonsense head instructor isn’t impressed by how much Emily knows—only by what she can do in the saddle. As Emily struggles to turn book knowledge into real-life skills, she begins to realize that becoming an equestrian extraordinaire will require more than knowing the right answers.

Determined to make a friend, Emily soon discovers that fitting in is harder than she imagined—and finding her place might be her biggest challenge yet.

Emily Edwards Equestrian Extraordinaire is a fun, heartfelt middle-grade novel about confidence, perseverance, and discovering that there’s more than one way to become extraordinary.
