Win a signed copy of Little Pearl by Helen Haraldsen!

Hello!

Today I have a fantastic competition for you! A fellow pony book author, Helen Haraldsen, is celebrating the launch of her new book with a competition especially for Riverdale readers.

Helen, author of the Amber's Pony Tales series, has just published the third book in the series, Trusting Molly.

To mark the occasion, Helen is offering one lucky Riverdale reader the chance to win a signed copy of the first Amber's Pony Tales book, Little Pearl, or, if you've already read Little Pearl, you can request Trusting Molly instead.

All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning is to subscribe to Helen's mailing list. That's it!

Simply head over to Helen's website HERE to sign up and your name will be popped into the hat so Helen can pick a winner. The winner will be announced on Sunday 4 October.

Little Pearl tells the story of pony-mad Amber whose dream comes true when her parents buy her Pearl - her favourite pony from her riding school.

She can't believe her luck... until she meets Joanne and her fiery pony, Flash. Flash is an accomplished jumping pony, and Pearl, Amber soon discovers, isn't.

Amber begins to wish she could swap her hairy, stubborn pony for a sleek, elegant showjumper.

Can Pearl show Amber she is a special pony in her own way?

In Trusting Molly, the third book in the series, Amber has the perfect pony in Molly.

The chestnut mare is beautiful, athletic and a prize-winning show jumper - everything a rider could want. But one thing is missing. Trust.

When she has the chance to compete in a Pony Club tetrathlon, Amber is faced with an impossible decision: stick with her reliable Fell pony Honey and accept the expensive time penalties, or take a risk and ride Molly?

Which pony will she choose?

If you're not lucky enough to win this time but would like to check out Helen's books, pop over to her website.

That's all from me for now.

Good luck!
