A hilarious misadventure starring a determined teenage girl and a Hollywood diva who happens to be a talking horse ...

Charlotte is a natural horseperson, and now she has the chance to try out for the Junior Olympic Equestrian Squad! But the academy head already disapproves of her, and Charlotte's roommates aren't above playing dirty tricks to get ahead. Then Charlotte meets the horse she'll be riding in the try-outs . . .

Leila is a movie star horse with a diva attitude. But Leila gets the shock of her life when she's kidnapped and ends up at a girls' riding academy in Australia. Her only way back to Hollywood is to reveal her big secret to her rider - yes, Leila can talk.

Can the two work together to achieve their dreams? Will Charlotte gain a place in the squad, or is running away her only option? And will Leila find her way back to her beloved film set?

Praise for Charlotte And The Starlet

"Mr Ed meets the Saddle Club" in this sassy, feel-good tale of a girl and her talking horse … extremely enjoyable – it’s funny, escapist, wish-fulfillment reading that will make girls aged nine to 12 glad that they came along for the ride.

Jenny Gorman, Australian Bookseller + Publisher

This is a very entertaining novel with vivid characters, humour, pace and drama, but it also has a lot of heart.

Adelaide's Child

Charlotte and the Starlet deals with big issues - being different and persevering in spite of the odds - with lots of fun along the way. All horse-crazy girls will love it, but there's plenty of humour for the boys - if they're brave enough to pick the book up.

Good Reading

This book is one of the best books I have ever read.

Emma, age 12, Random House Book Buddies

Natasha, age 9, Random House Book Buddies
