      Another sweet book in this series; simple, but well-written, and lightly adventurous. I love the map of the Australian town in the front papers and the illustrations.

    The Circus Horse - Roland Harvey

    FINALE

    ONE HOT AFTERNOON

    In summer, Bonnie and Sam always ended the school week with a popsicle at the milk bar.

    They loved reading the posters in the window. It was the town noticeboard. If you had guinea pigs to spare or a computer to sell, that’s where you’d advertise.

    This Friday, the window was full.

    "What if we found a Free to a good home ad for a beautiful horse? said Sam. Wouldn’t that be—"

    Look! Bonnie cut in. There’s a circus coming here in two weeks. Circo’s Circus.

    Hey, even better, said Sam, the fire brigade’s running a Talent Night again. Remember when Wally Webster’s performing sheep pooed all over the stage?

    Tricky belonged to Michael Milton, the bossiest boy in the school. Tricky and Michael were the best combination in the pony club games team. They whizzed around barrels and poles so fast that Tricky’s black-and-white patches blurred together. But apart from games, Michael ignored Tricky completely. His mother was so sick of nagging him to care for his horse that when Bonnie and Sam offered to do it she quickly said yes.

    Michael doesn’t even like you, Bonnie whispered as Tricky rubbed his head against her back. He just uses you like a motorbike.

    Sam turned on the tap to
