Bookroo's summary

Brooke Rhodes arrives at riding camp with her Chincoteague pony, Foxy, only to find herself an outsider among girls with show horses. As she struggles to fit in, Brooke discovers the camp might close after this summer. With the help of her online friends, she must rally everyone to save the camp. Will they unite in time, or is this their final summer together?

From the publisher

Brooke brings her pony to summer camp in this second book in a contemporary middle grade series in the tradition of Marguerite Henry’s Misty of Chincoteague. Brooke Rhodes is excited to go to sleepaway riding camp for two weeks with her Chincoteague pony, Foxy. However, camp doesn’t turn out to be quite as fun as Brooke expected. The other girls all know each other already, and they don’t seem interested in bringing a newbie into their group. Besides that, they’re all riding tall, fancy, super well-trained show horses–not scruffy young Chincoteague ponies. Then Brooke overhears that this might be the last summer for the camp. She asks for help from her online Pony Post friends–Maddie Martinez, Hayley Duncan, and Nina Peralt–but she still has to wonder: will everyone work together to save the camp, or will this summer be their last hurrah?
