This one has a pony riding school and for probably most of the book it's actually slightly less ludicrous than usual. In the latter half, of course, Izzy's amazing Luckiest Girl In The World mutant power kicks in, and the ghost pony was in there somewhere. It's interesting to me that I don't seem to come across many modern pony novels where a competition is the focus and it's something like a local show, or a pony club meet. It's always some sort of super elite galactic A-circuit million dollar ultimate showdown. I don't know, man. I think it's easier to care about whether a kid wins a ribbon at a gymkhana than whether they get crowned ultimate grand supreme rider in the universe. Like, they're pretty lucky to be in the running in the first place.

Anyway this isn't as stupid as the next one in the series >__>
