About this ebook
Ellie and her mother lost everything in the hurricane: their home, their family business, and, tragically, Ellie's dad. They get a chance at a new life when Ellie's mom gets a job apprenticing as a farrier and managing a horse farm in Virginia. Ellie has a scholarship to Twin Creeks Preparatory School, where her snobby classmates aren't friendly at all—until a rumor begins that Ellie is actually a princess! Suddenly Ellie is the school's most popular girl. But what will happen when the truth comes out?

This quick read is a charmer.
Ellie and her mom have lived in a shelter for several months, ever since a hurricane destroyed their old life. They are not homeless, but "tweenies," as her mom puts it-- between houses. Ellie's dad, who died in the hurricane trying to rescue others, was a farrier, and her mom hopes to follow in this career path. She gets the opportunity when she is offered a job caring for horses in Virginia horse country. Ellie is offered a full scholarship to the local prep school. When she first arrives, many of the girls in her class are snobbish and make her feel unwelcome. But after a schoolmate sees Ellie get off the bus in front of the huge mansion owned by her mother's employer, a rumor starts at school that not only is Ellie "mega rich," but she's a princess. Ellie overhears the whispers, and knows she ought to stop the rumors, but suddenly all the other girls like her... what harm can a rumor that SHE didn't start do?
Patty Weise's lovely illustrations complement the story. While the cover art looks a little juvenile, booktalking the story will make this an easy sell to middle grade girls in search of friendship stories sprinkled with a dash of horsiness.
