The Silver Horse Switch — Alison Lester

“Harvey's ink and watercolor pictures cheerily depict life in the bush and capture the personalities of the heroines and their equine friends.” -- Publishers Weekly
 
Bonnie and Sam are best friends who love horses. They befriend the ponies and horses in their Australian town except for one, Drover, who used to be wild. All she dreams about is getting back to the mountains to be free. One evening, when a wild, mountain horse who could be Drover's twin comes face to face with the cantankerous, corralled Drover, both horses get their chance at a new life. Illustrated with lively watercolor throughout, this endearing tale is a sure hit.
 
“Lighthearted easy readers with Harvey's appealing watercolor illustrations, these books have instant charm . . . The horses are as vivid and complex as the deftly drawn human characters.” -- Kirkus Reviews
