I Loved this book!! It was wonderful, heart-warming and fun to read. I love horses and love to read so this was just my kind of book. The one thing I didn't like about it was that she had to have a boy friend, but they didn't make a big deal about that. So over all this was an awsome story!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!

Editorial Review:

The tryouts for the equestrian riding team are over, and Malory earned her spot as the second-ranked rider for Chestnut Hill. Still, she doubts whether she belongs at the elite school despite receiving a top scholarship. Then the pony she’s training gets hurt, and Malory wants to ride Tybalt in the next show. But Tybalt is wary and defensive. Her instinct tells her they share a special bond, but she doesn't know how to reach him. Malory has always trusted her gut when it comes to horses, and she's willing to bet her future at Chestnut Hill that Tybalt has what it takes to win.

Editorial Review:

Malory has a natural gift for riding, so it's no surprise that she's invited to try out for an exclusive summer riding team. But there are always hurdles. Malory needs to find a horse to ride, compete against her classmates for a spot, and deal with the fact that Caleb - the boy she's liked all year - is trying out as well. It doesn't help that things with Caleb have been tricky as of late, and that joining the team would mean leaving her father and Tybalt for the summer. Malory has always been methodical and reasonable, but even she struggles to make the decision that is right.

5 of 6 people found this review helpful.

Chestnut hill is great but heartland is a little better. Heartland got more susppensful than chestnut hill and thats what i like in a book. It would be great if more heartland books came out and more chestnut hill ones too.

Hated it 1 out of 5 stars.

This book was terrible compared to Heartland. Dylan, the main character in the story, should have been suspended for stupidly taking a dare that two other rich girls gave her. The dare was to jump a course in the dark. Dylan could have injured her mount, badly. But she didn`t care. All she cared about was being the best jumper on the team. Dylan also expected special treatment from her aunt, who is a riding instructor at Chestnut Hill. But her aunt is too moody to pay attention to Dylan. To sum it up, this book is not really about horses. It is about fitting in. Heartland, however, is about listening to the horses. No one at Chestnut Hill really and truly listens to the horses.

Editorial Review:

Welcome to Chestnut Hill, a prestigious boarding school with a rich tradition of academics, horses, and rivalry. This year, five girls from different backgrounds will challenge the Chestnut Hill stereotype. There's witty, spunky Dylan; secretive Malory; western tomboy Lani; Honey, the soft-spoken Brit; and polished New Yorker Razina. None is prepared for the social or riding rigors, and they all doubt they will fit in -- certainly not if queen bee Lynsey and her clique have any say. But if this unlikely fivesome can band together, they may prove themselves the true stars of Chestnut Hill.

Heart Stopping---Wistfull---Breath Taking 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Honey has a twin brother, Sam, but it takes a picture following out of her photo-album and Dylan picking it up for her to tell Dylan, Lani, and Malory that she has a twin. Or she wouldn't have said anything. It all takes place after Thanksgiving break and but during break Honey had learned horrifing news about Sam. Who was sick for over a year and just when they were thinking he was going to get better the same illness came back. After Sam goes to the hospital Honey is even more determined not to tell her friends about Sam's illness. I'm not much for crying but when Honey was talking to her parents about how keeping her apart from Sam when he's in the hospital or at home was making her worry even more about her brother and how he's doing my eyes kept tearing up and I had to blink a lot so I could keep on reading. I suggest you read it, it's full of brotherly-sisterly love and hope, but LOL, you should read it as the series goes after the first two books: #1 The New Class and #2 Making Strides.

Editorial Review:

Spunky, vivacious Lani Hernandez is excited to be back at school with her friends and horses after winter break.Then Lani receives a letter from home: Her parents are concerned about her grades and want her to transfer to another school where the extracurriculars won't be as distracting. Upset but determined, Lani sets out to change her parents' minds. When she sprains her wrist riding, she's able to devote more time to studying -- until she gets involved in planning a charity event. If the event is a success, will Lani be able to convince her parents that Chestnut Hill is the place for her?
