Then, on her journey, she comes face-to-face with an unwelcome ghost from the past...

    "A sure-fire hit for horse lovers!"—Kirkus 
      
    Presley and the Impossible Dream is the first book in the middle grade Windy Creek Stables series set at a rural Virginia riding school—a 21st-century Saddle Club, full of authentic detail, realistic drama, and tons of heart. 
      
    Presley's life is pretty great—she has a loving family, friends at school, and plenty of rambunctious rescue pets. There's just one little problem … She's never gotten to ride a horse. And her mom has banned her from ever, ever, ever getting on one. 
      
    And sure, Presley knows riding can be a little dangerous, and a little expensive, but she’s loved horses for as long as she can remember. She’s read every book in the library about horses and horsemanship, she watches professional horse competitions on the internet, and she’s always dreamed about learning to ride. So when she gets the opportunity to tag along with her stepdad on a vet visit to Windy Creek Stables, she jumps at the chance. 
      
    And even after a surprise run in with Harper, a popular girl who's never given Presley a second glance, Windy Creek is everything she thought it would be … except, well, maybe it's a little messy? Clean and dirty saddle pads are all jumbled together, and there’s a tangle of bridles hanging on a hook in the corner. Which gives Presley the perfect idea: In exchange for cleaning stalls and helping around the barn after school, Tracie, the stable owner, will give her lessons—if she can get her mom to agree to the deal.

    Set in the remote Tuamotu Archipelago, The House of Mapuhi is a gripping tale of ambition, greed, and nature’s unrelenting fury. In this powerful short story by Jack London, a humble islander named Mapuhi dreams of building a fine house — a symbol of prestige and modern comfort. When he discovers an enormous, priceless pearl, he believes his dream is within reach. But the island’s harsh social dynamics and the looming threat of a devastating hurricane put everything in peril. 
    Jack London’s vivid prose and unflinching realism paint a striking portrait of life in the South Seas — where colonial forces, native desires, and the power of nature collide. Combining adventure, tragedy, and a sharp critique of materialism, this story delivers a potent blend of suspense and social commentary. 
    Ideal for listeners who enjoy sea tales, island dramas, and morally complex characters, The House of Mapuhi remains as haunting and relevant as ever.
