“And having fun and doing a good job and helping other people,” Stevie added.
“So then it’s clear to me what the duke’s treasure really is,” said Lisa.
“What?” Carole asked.
“The Saddle Club, of course,” said Lisa. “It’s the thing I care about the most.”
“Me too,” said Carole.
“Me three,” said Stevie.
“One thing’s for sure, then,” said Lisa. “We’ve got the treasure and Veronica doesn’t!” They gave one another a high fifteen.
The flight attendant interrupted their celebration. “Ready for lunch, girls?” she asked, lowering their tables to hold the trays.
“You bet!” Stevie said. “I could eat an elephant!”
“Sorry, there’s no elephant on the menu—just a special selection for our young travelers: pizza!”

A SUMMER

HORSES
SADDLE CLUB SUPER EDITION #1
In this first super edition, there are three stories in one!
When Stevie Lake injures herself and can’t ride for a while, the other two members of The Saddle Club, Carole Hanson and Lisa Atwood, make a pact not to ride until Stevie has recovered. After all, they’re The Saddle Club, and they always stick together. To seal the pact, the girls decide that if any of them break the vow, they’ll have to ask stuck-up Veronica diAngelo to join their club. That’ll keep them out of the saddle for sure!
But can three horse-crazy girls really stay away from horses and riding for more than a day? Find out in The Saddle Club Super Edition #1, which contains three separate stories about Lisa, Stevie, and Carole—and their summer without horses!
WESTERN STAR
SADDLE CLUB SUPER EDITION #3
The girls of The Saddle Club can’t wait for winter break from school. Carole, Stevie, and Lisa are heading west to spend the first part of their vacation at one of their favorite places—the Bar None Ranch.
But what they thought would be a quick trip turns into a snowbound adventure. The girls must rescue a herd of horses that face a terrible fate.…
Join The Saddle Club on an unforgettable journey that recalls the true spirit of giving and the strength of friendship.
