Fergus is a palomino colt bred to be a polo pony. Quite by accident, it is discovered that he is a very adept-and very acrobatic-soccer goalkeeper. He becomes an overnight celebrity and is soon on a nationwide tour to promote the sport. But fame proves to be risky. Rumble Smith, a small time rodeo stockman who often operates on the wrong side of the law decides that Fergus can be his ticket into big time rodeo. With sidekick Reiterate Johnson and cosmetologist-turned-cowhand Billy Joe Culpepper, Rumble sets out to kidnap the acrobatic colt. By luck and coincidence, his plot succeeds, and Fergus is soon an unfortunate addition to Rumble's rundown ranch in a remote part of west Texas.
Fergus finds an ally in Bouncer, a small but feisty dog. Their efforts to escape the ranch and Rumble Smith lead this unlikely pair into some perilous adventures. This delightfully funny, fast-paced, and suspenseful book, with lots of young boy-appeal, will have the readers' rapt attention from beginning to end.
You will not want to miss THE SIX BOOK STARLIGHT SERIES! Still new, and much in demand, the first, Miranda and Starlight was published in 2002, and the sixth came off the press just in time for Christmas in 2004. They chronicle the many mishaps, adventures, and triumphs that form a bond of love between two spirited creatures, a girl and a horse. These books by Janet Muirhead Hill are a journey of courage; a portrayal of mistakes and consequences, a heartfelt experience, and a model for perseverance in making dreams come true.
Reasons that the Starlight Books are hot sellers to the target market:
1. Two books of this series have already won prestigious awards.
* Notable Book Award recipient, Miranda and Starlight merited this quote from Writer's Notes Magazine: "This is more than a mere horse story. It is a journey of courage and consequences for younger juvenile readers. My own children will read this story."
* Winner of Best Books 2004, Starlight Shines for Miranda, was declared "pure magic that celebrates the heart-warming relationship between a girl and her horse. A fun read!" by USA Book News.
* Starlight Comes Home, has been nominated for several awards and but it is too soon to know how many it may win.
2. Beautiful cover art and line drawings throughout by Pat Lehmkuhl enhance the stories. They will be a treasured collector's item to be passed along for generations to come.
3. Many readers, children and adults alike, testify that once they start reading one of these books, they cannot put them down. Children directly identify with the characters in the books-characters who have realistic challenges without obvious solutions, "just like real life," as one thirteen-year-old reader put it.
4. Widely acclaimed, they were called "a charming and highly recommended story," by Midwest Book Review adding that they "document Janet Muirhead Hill as one of the truly skilled storytellers writing for young readers today."
5. These books have turned non-readers into avid bookworms as testified by several children who have said, like Katherine Wade, "Before I read Miranda and Starlight, I hated reading. Your books have changed my life."
6. Film producer Robert Kollar was so touched by the story in these books, that he wants to make them into a movie to be filmed in Montana in 2005 or 2006.
