The fun and drama continues in this eighth book of the New York Times bestselling graphic novel series!

Lila Fowler, the snobbiest girl in Sweet Valley Middle School, has gotten her own beautiful horse but she doesn’t even seem to care! Elizabeth doesn’t think it’s fair—she absolutely adores horses and would do anything to get to ride one—even pretending to be friends with Lila!

Jessica can’t stand that Elizabeth is acting so fake just to buddy up with her friend. Just how far will Elizabeth go before she loses everything—all for the love of a horse?
