Christina is sent to live with her uncle and his two sons in their country house, Flambards. She finds her uncle fierce and domineering and her cousin Mark arrogant and selfish. But Flambards isn't all bad, for Christina soon discovers a passion for horse-riding and forms a binding friendship with her cousin Will. As time goes by Christina comes to realize the important part she has to play in this emotionally-charged and strange household. I reccomend this book for people that like horse-riding. I like this book because it was given to me by my gran who works in a library and bought it for me and i love to read it because I love horse-riding.
