Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Unless Paige finishes in the top ten of her class in the summer exams, and also places in at least one event at the summer show, the magazine will stop paying her fees and she will have to leave Ravensbay...' Paige Buchanan arrives back at Ravensbay Boarding School and Equestrian Academy expecting to have a full term of summer fun: barbecues, beach rides and training for the showjumping class at the end-of-year summer show on Paprika. She'll also be reunited with Blue Angel, the blue roan American Quarter Horse she's spent the past two terms gentling. Instead, Paige is summoned to the headmistress's office at the start of term and is told that she has to choose between the two ponies. Even worse, the equestrian magazine that pays her scholarship fees is demanding top results in both her academic and equestrian studies or else they will pull their funding. Paige suspects that her best frenemy, Savannah Rees-Myers, is behind all her troubles but she can't prove it and a battle of wills commences between them that affects every girl in Llewellyn Hall. With reliable Paprika allocated to another girl, Paige must get Blue Angel competition ready by the end of term. With the weeks rushing by, and extra prep and revision for the end-of-year exams to fit in too, Paige finds herself racing against time. Because the pressure is well and truly on and, if Paige can't find a way to succeed, her first year at Ravensbay will also be her last!

Ponies! magazine 25th year anniversary national 'Pony School' competition. As you know, first prize is for the magazine to pay your fees in full for the Ravensbay Boarding School and Equestrian Academy..." ...and so, eleven-year-old Paige Buchanan is catapulted from her quiet Edinburgh life, living with her mother and attending the local primary school, into the privileged world of Ravensbay where she will discover a whole new vocabulary: snacks are 'tuck', homework is 'prep' and the words 'competition girl' aren't meant as a compliment! Convinced she'll never fit in, Paige is all set to give up her place at school and return home when she sees a blue roan mare running wild in the fields. It's love at first sight for Paige, but the mare, Blue Angel, is to be sold as dangerous unless someone can save her. Suddenly Paige has a reason to stay, but can she face her fears, makes friends and, ultimately, save the pony of her dreams from a terrible fate? First Term at Ravenbay is the first title in this brand new and modern equestrian boarding school series which will follow Paige and her school-mates from their very first day in year seven, through the school years, term by term. Paige's dorm-mates are remote and prickly Taryn, very much in the shadow of her famous showjumping sister and horribly homesick; misfit swot Anna, sent to school by her wealthy, well-meaning aunt; and Paige's nemesis, pony diva Savannah, whose mother is a school governor and will do everything in her power to get the 'competition girl', kicked out of the school. Along the way you'll meet the teachers, prefects, Will the stable lad, and all the ponies! And then there's Blue Angel, a damaged blue roan American Quarter Horse. Paige's determination to save Blue Angel gets her, and her new friends, into trouble, not to mention demerit points for her house, as well as multiple bruises and far too many visits to the headmistress's office. But, in the end, it will all be worth it...won't it? The Ravensbay School Stories are the perfect pony books for fans of Amanda Wills, Stacy Gregg, Jessica Burkhart (Canterwood Crest), Lauren Brooke (Chestnut Hill) and Olivia Tuffin, and for fans of boarding school series such as Malory Towers and Trebizon.
