The Princess and the Foal

(4 reviews with an average rating of 5 out of 5)

Publisher: HarperCollins Children's Books

When Haya's family is devastated by tragedy, she is utterly heartbroken and the wounds are slow to heal. Years later, an unexpected birthday gift leads her to an enduring friendship and a future she could only have imagined in her dreams.

Based on the early life of Princess Haya of Jordan this is the story of how a sad little girl found purpose in her life and achieved great things through the sheer force of her own will and determination. Although it can be classified as a 'pony story', the quality of the writing and the charm of the central character make this a book that can be enjoyed by a much wider readership than the cover and title might suggest.
