"Sofie and her parents have recently moved back to Sweden after spending most of Sofie's life, ten years, in London. Returning has been tough on her, but after a few difficult weeks she finally starts to get used to country life -- and to her summer job at Humleby Farm. Mostly, she has Speedy Legend to thank for her new happiness. Speedy was a troubled newcomer at the big trotting stable, just like Sofie, so she feels a special bond with the big, beautiful chestnut gleding. Sofie doesn't miss city life, but she does miss her best friend Jojo back in London. Why hasn't Jojo kept in touch? Could it have something to do with Sofie's new interest in horses? After all, the girls used to make jokes about people who like horses! Sofie fears the truth -- that she'll have to choose between Speedy and her best friend!"--Publisher's website
