Eccentric Grandma Stella is taking in boarders. Not the kind that talk, but the kind that neigh. Horses. When seven-year-old Eclair meets the first boarder and its owner, a girl Eclair's age who's dressed like a gypsy, the girl says her horse can read minds and will cast a spell on Eclair. Does the horse really have magic? If so, maybe the horse could make Eclair's secret wish come true.

______________________________________________________________________________________________Interview with my 9yr old
My 9yr old (Spoiled Princess) loves to read. She is such a mini me in that respect! So when I told her that I had two books to read on my kindle, she went a little spastic :) She read both books in 1 day and has been bugging me to find out if and when there might be more books to this series! I initially was going to have her write a book review/report but they haven't started that in school yet and so an interview was a simpler process .Spoiled Princess' thoughts :
- What was your favorite part about the book?
My favorite part of the book is when Eclair meets Gypsy.
- Who was your favorite character & why?
My favorite character in Book 2 is Gypsy. I like Gypsy because she has the legend that most people don't believe.
- Between the two books, which was your favorite?
My favorite book was book 2. It has more adventure.
- What is your opinion of Eclair? Is she someone you would want to be friends with if she were real?
She's nice and doesn't tell lies. Yeah, I would like to be friends with her.
- Tell me why you liked these books and why you would tell a friend to read them.
I would tell them to read these books because it's about a girl and a horse getting together. It is a magical book with adventure.
- If the author writes more books in the series, do you want to read them?
Yes !!
- If you could ask the author questions about the book, what might they be?
I would ask her if the horses ever become real friends.
- Did this book make you feel anything? Happy? Sad?
It made me happy because I don't usually get to read about horses and I really like them. There aren't a lot of horse books.
