Abby Malone is out for a ride on her favourite horse, Moonlight Sonata. When a flash thunderstorm hits, Abby and Moonie take refuge in what appears to be an abandoned barn. Inside, Abby discovers a wooden stage, velvet seats and an orchestra pit. What on earth is a theatre doing in an old barn? And what is that blur of bluish light in the second row from the back?
From the author of the bestselling Sundancer, Dancer, and Abby Malone comes a reissue of Stagestruck?a fan favourite chock-full of adventure, mystery and romance. With his owner, Hilary, off at university, the magnificent showjumper Dancer is restless and in need of exercise. Abby is thrilled when Hilary offers her a chance to train this magnificent horse, but she soon finds herself caught in a tangle of mysterious events. As Abby prepares Dancer for the prestigious Grand Invitational?and the community comes together to mount a production of Pinocchio at the old theatre?strange things begin to occur. Is someone out to hurt Abby, or is Dancer once again the target of Samuel Owen’s wrath?
For those familiar with Peterson’s other work, or for new readers, Stagestruck is an unforgettable story.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great ending to the trilogy,
By Rebecca Schneider (Seattle, Wa USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stagestruck (Paperback)
Shelley Peterson has once again created a masterpiece. It is the third book in her series about Dancer, and Abby Malone. This book has a good bit of horse to keep the horse enthusiast happy, yet ventures outside horses to the world of acting. Ghosts, and other suprises abound as the local acting troupe puts on Pinnochio. Of course Owen still wants to get his hands on Dancer, and we find out what happens to Mousey (now that she is grown up - from the first book Dancer). I would reccomend these well written horse books to anyone - they are simply amazing.

Good piece of writing,
By Ashley (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stagestruck (Paperback)
This is the first of Shelley Peterson's novels that I've read, but I must say I enjoyed it, not having read the first two books. It is full of suspense although sometimes, this is my opinion however, the author drifted away from describing the finer details such as the horse's movements, or the forest scenery. Overall, though, it was a good read. Recommended for horse lovers ages 10 and up.

Shelley Peterson has done it again,
By Catherine Shek (Edmonton,Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stagestruck (Paperback)
As the third book written by this woman, I must say that with each book her writing gets better and better. In this compelling novel, Abby Malone is out riding on Moonlight Sonata 'Moonie', bringing Moonie's baby Moon Dancer 'Leggy' along. When a thunderstorm hits, they take refuge in an abandoned barn which has old theater inside, as well as a mysterious tenant who 'lives' there.Because Hilary is off at university, she has asked Abby to ride and excercise Dancer for her, but soon Abby finds herself caught in a tangle of mysterious events as Samuel Owens has been recently released. As Abby prepares Dancer for the Grand Invitional and the community comes together to mount a production of Pnocchio at the old theater strange things begin to occur. I truly recommand this book to whoever has read Dancer and Abby Malone as this is another of Shelley Peterson's masterpieces that should not be missed.
