In the shade of the Giant's Throne Mountain, and on the coast of the Indian Ocean, Port St. Christopher is home to Apley Towers; a riding school for girls and boys, young or old, who learn what it means to be a true horse rider. Angela has got herself a secret admirer all thanks to Kaela playing the stable cupid. But for both girls, this has disastrous consequences: Kaela has become too wrapped up in the excitement to see the stressful decisions her friend is facing. Will Kaela's meddling pay off in the end? It's time for Angela to stop trying to please others and start thinking about herself. Apley Towers is a six-book horse and pony series set in South Africa. These coming of age stories have a strong focus on close friendships and are ideal for readers aged 11+. Shortlisted for the People's Book Prize 2017.

Myra King was born in Johannesburg, South Africa. After spending time in the USA, she finally settled in England, with her husband, young son and border collie. Despite her enduring love affair with her adopted country, Myra retains a link to her motherland as a place with a lot of stories to tell, and one of the main inspirations in her writing. After a serious fall from her horse at 19, Myra knew she would never be able to get into a saddle again, so she switched her focus to her writing.
