Meg and Merlin

Meg and Merlin brave a “Fun Day” at the stables and learn some exciting new tricks in this high-spirited new instalment of Tanya Landman’s horse-riding series.

When her friend Sam’s pushy mum suggests that Meg and Merlin attend a “Fun Day” at the stables where she works, Meg doesn’t really feel she can say no.

She enjoys the chance to improve her riding skills, but when Sam’s mum tries to force Merlin over a water jump, he refuses, and she ends up getting very wet, much to everyone’s amusement.

Particularly suitable for readers aged 7+ with a reading age of 7.
