Product Description
In Chasing Blue, Sasha and her horse, Charm, have proven that they’re worthy competitors for the elite Canterwood Crest equestrian team. Things are definitely looking up . . . until Sasha finds out who her riding partner for the semester is: her archnemesis, Queen Bee Heather. Not. Good. And when Heather starts spending a little too much QT with Sasha’s almost-boyfriend, Jacob, the partnership is put to the ultimate test. The tension builds in Behind the Bit when Sasha and her team are accepted to a prestigious horse clinic. Can Sasha and Callie work together when it counts?

Triple Fault, Aug 27 2009

Pre-release customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program
Here's the thing: When TAKE THE REINS came out, I picked it up for one reason, and one reason only: I read Jessica Burkhart's blog, and she was so excited about her début novel that *I* was excited about her début novel. I'm not really into horses, not into the new-girl-clashing-with-the-popular-mean-girl plot, not into middle-grade novels. But I really enjoyed the first book, so I kept reading the series.
In TRIPLE FAULT, Sasha still isn't speaking to Callie and Jacob, too hurt by their betrayal. No matter that she like-likes Eric. She wants nothing more than to be his girlfriend, but she's sure that keeping their relationship secret is the key to making sure nothing happens to ruin it. More than that, Jasmine King--who makes Heather look très sweet--has transferred to Canterwood with an "I'm so innocent" act that fools everyone, and no one on the seventh-grade advanced team is going to give her a chance. Too bad this is Jasmine King, who won't take no for an answer.
I think that this series is getting better and better. In the first book, Burkhart jumped from scene to scene a lot; there didn't seem to be a lot of connectedness. In TRIPLE FAULT, the fourth book, the storyline read more smoothly. The characters are growing more and more distinct; Burkhart's characters aren't incredibly nuanced, but she adds layers here and there. Like Jasmine? In the previous books, I hated her, but in this book, some of her "shy new girl" act might have fooled me. Sasha is far from perfect (her big problem with Callie dating Jacob is that Callie didn't tell her, yet Sasha is now doing the same thing; and she doesn't give Jasmine another chance), but she's an extremely likeable protagonist who usually acts her age. And I love that Eric and Sasha have a solid friendship that developed over the two previous books; I liked that it took time for Sasha to realize which guy she really liked.
If you want your tween daughter to be reading something "wholesome", CANTERWOOD CREST might not be the series. The characters--including Sasha--have their good and bad moments, and there's no moral imparted at the end of the books (just cliffhangers). But in my opinion, CANTERWOOD CREST is definitely a great series for tween girls, especially those who like some drama in what they read.
