The Sandy Lanes stables series - previously published in paperback - is now part of the Usborne Reading Programme. Sitting above Young Reading Series Three, Young Reading Plus is for fully confident, independent readers who still need lots of practice in order to build their reading stamina and vocabulary. Jess has always wanted her own pony, but for now she's content spending every day at Sandy Lane Stables. When it looks as if her dream will come true, Jess has to make a terrible choice … which should she choose — a pony of her own or Sandy Lane Stables? This exciting story of friendship from the Usborne Young Reading Programme is perfect for newly independent readers.
