The Pony-Crazed Princess #12

by Diana Kimpton, Lizzie Finlay (Illustrator)

SERIES DESCRIPTION

Princess Ellie is absolutely, positively crazy about her ponies! She has four perfect ponies and the entire palace grounds in which to ride them. Royal rules about being a princess are boring compared to the fun she has with her adorable ponies. Along with her best friend, Kate, Ellie goes exploring, solves mysteries, and, of course, spends as much time with her ponies as possible.

When Princess Ellie finds a hidden treasure map in the castle, she can't wait to saddle up and go exploring with her best friends, Kate and Prince John. But the palace grounds have changed a lot since the map was drawn a hundred years ago. How will they ever find the secret burired treasure?

About the author

I'm the author of more than forty books, including my successful Pony-Mad Princess series. I write for adults as well as children. and many of my books have been translated into other languages. My Amy Wild - Animal Talker series is popular in Japan, and the Japanese editions look fantastic.

I've always been pony-mad so it's not surprising that my favourite animals feature in many of my books. I even used my research for "There Must Be Horses" as an excuse to buy the horse I had always dreamed of owning. He's a Haflinger so he's a palomino who gets fat really easily.

I've recently started writing books to help other writers. "Plots and Plotting: how to create stories that work" has just been published, and I'm currently working on a sequel called "Scenes and Sentences". I'm also in the process of writing two more Amy Wild books so I'm very busy at the moment.

she finds a 100 year old clue/map and looks for the 7 oak trees... but realizes the things have changed and trees were cut down or bridges changed locations... so it takes a while to find the treasure.

Princess Ellie has invited Prince John her best friend to visit. Whilst doing a history lesson she finds a treasure map in amongst the many books on the shelves of the library. When she tells her friends they all set off to find the missing treasure. Finding the treasure was not as easy as they had hoped. I loved the adventure and challenges they faced in this book.
