  • Interest Level: Grade 4 - Grade 8
  • Reading Level: Grade 4

Paley Dixon is not excited about six weeks on a horse ranch without access to the virtual world of Dragonfyre. In-game, she’s the Blue Elf, strong and powerful. In the real world, she’s coming off a bad year after moving from Los Angeles to Denver. At least Prince, the majestic horse she’s paired with at Quartz Creek Ranch, makes her feel like royalty.

To gain Prince’s trust, Paley has to find her own confidence, which isn’t easy with jerks like Bryce around. When she makes an exciting discovery near the ranch, life finally seems as interesting as Dragonfyre. But to protect her real-world treasure, she’ll have to figure out how to turn courage into action.

“This is series fiction, but it’s a step above the usual breathless horsey fare, with well-drawn characters and realistic horse situations. . . . A good book to hand out to horse-crazy kids.”—Kirkus Reviews
