Title: Riding through fire
Description: Twelve-year-old Kirsty Hagen is still working for Lucy at the ranch while her best friend Faye Marsh is out show-jumping as a professional rider. When Lucy asks Kirsty to help with a cattle round-up, she agrees, even though she's nervous. Her round-up partner is fourteen-year-old Jesse, who treats her like an idiot and even makes fun of her pony, Lancelot. Soon she's steaming mad, and Jesse has disappeared. When she finds him, it's too late: a forest fire is bearing down on them. In peril, Kirsty and Jesse have to cooperate--and trust the horse sense of Lancelot--to ride through the fire and out to safety.
