My seven-year-old son won the first three books in the Pocket Pegasus series by Susan Stafford last year. It was a heap of fun for him and my elder daughter to take part in the Kids Summer Reading Program. It’s taken me awhile, but I’ve finally had a chance to read the first book – Flash and the Turtle Creek Triad.
This series has such an interesting storyline – a pegasus figurine that comes to life after being struck by lightning. How lucky the main character, twelve-year-old Laura appears to be!
But once you have a live pegasus – and one that talks, at that! – how do you keep that a secret? The first book in the Pocket Pegasus series was a delight to read. Young Laura’s adventures with Flash – her talking pegasus – and her work at a nearby horse property are an interesting read.
Flash and the Turtle Creek Triad by Susan Stafford
The book has amusing scenes with the two-hand high talking pegasus as he learns to stay a secret in Laura’s world. But by the time the twelve-year-old has turned thirteen, her secret isn’t such a secret any more.
Along with her best friend Krissy and an unexpected friendship with a lonely teenage boy, the Turtle Creek Triad is born. A great start to a new series.
