Chapter 1 Little Miss Sunshine Mail call said Aunt Jane For you Miss Daniela She handed a thick white envelope to Dani Then Carly and Gabriela got even thicker ones I crossed my fingers Anything for the birthday girl Carly frowned It’s not your birthday I chewed my lip In two days it is 4
Aunt Jane shuffled through her box I do have a postcard for a Miss Kianna Drake She tapped her chin Hmm do I know a Kianna Drake That’s me I shouted I grabbed the card out of her hand Aunt Jane isn’t my real aunt She owns Storm Cliff Stables It’s a horse camp Everyone here calls her Aunt Jane My mama said that if horses talked they’d call her Aunt Jane too I’m a Pony Girl Dani Gabriela and Carly are Pony Girls too That means we’re the youngest campers 5
But Carly says I’m not a real Pony Girl Real Pony Girls are eight years old I’m only seven But Aunt Jane let me come to camp anyway because she’s friends with my mama I studied the postcard Who’s it from asked Dani My mama I cleared my throat and read Hey Little Miss Sunshine Hope you’re having fun in camp Love Mama it Then I felt sad I missed my mama And my dog Barkley And everyone and everything else back home 6
Mama said Storm Cliff Stables is only twenty miles away from home But it’s been feeling more like twenty million trillion gazillion bajillion miles away 7
