A Friend in Need

Jenny Bicho, illustrated by Andrea Femerstrand

Autumn has arrived, and the new life on the island has become everyday routine. Vilde’s new school is nothing like her old one. Nor are her new classmates like the friends she left behind. Are they even her friends? To be honest, the girls here can be quite mean. Luckily, Mum has agreed that Vilde can start riding lessons and learn to ride for real. Every Tuesday, Vilde keeps her fingers crossed that she’ll get to try a different horse than the slow pony Laika. But being a beginner at the stables turns out to be almost harder than being new in class.

A Friend in Need is the eighth book in the popular and much-loved series about Vilde and the Hobby Horses.
