This was an adorable book that I would have loved when I was the intended age! Overall, I would definitely recommend!

I received an e-ARC from the publisher.

Thorpe has blended the best of magic and horses in an adorable chapter book with cute illustrations for readers just jumping into chapter books. Disney fans will love this one

One wish is all it takes. Maddie moves to Horsetail Hollow, a farm that definitely doesn't live up to her storybook dream expectations. Besides the run down house and barn, the worst part is that there are no horses. But while exploring, she and her sister Evie discover a well. A wishing well. All Maddie wants is a horse of her own, but wishes don't always go as planned.

Wishes come true for Maddie, because the next day a white horse appears. But Evie and The next day, a magnificent white horse appears on their farm! Maddie is overjoyed that her wish came true, but Evie shares she made a wish too. Evie wanted a princess as a friend. Their wishes got tangled up (pun absolutely intended) and they ended up with a princess's horse instead! This horse is no ordinary pony, but Rapunzel's own horse Maximus from the movie Tangled.

Maddie quickly realizes Max isn’t the horse of her fairytale dreams. He is strong and a protector and not at al interested in letting Maddie braid his mane. But the fairytale's happily ever after is at risk if they don't get Maximus back inside his story and Maddie knows she has to give him up. This book was fun, easy to read, filled with horses, and is great for kids who love Disney.
