Saddlehill Academy: Sweet and Bitter Rivals (Staff Pick)

Horses! Friendship! Drama! Boarding School! Queer crushes! This book is everything I needed. Follow along as Abby navigates the horse show circuit and something even more intimidating... middle school drama. Kudos to Jessica Burkhart for writing characters that are intriguing, realistic, and oh so human. The emotional stakes are obvious and it's so easy to be invested in the outcomes for Abby and her friends. Plus there are horses!
