The new exchange student means serious competition for Lauren and her friends-because at Canterwood Crest, only one rider can be at the top. Rankings on Canterwood's intermediate team are falling into place-in Lauren's favor. Then blond, beautiful foreign exchange student Carina arrives. The new girl puts on a million-watt smile, but it doesn't dazzle LT. Carina is out to show Canterwood students just how riders from her home country of Sweden take the arena. And with a local show on the horizon, Carina's especially ready to impress-which means Lauren and her friends better be especially ready to represent, because Carina's in place to steal the spotlight.
