All The Fraudulent Horse Girls

Audrey is a neurodivergent 11-year-old who loves horses so much that she can recite every line of the movie ‘Spirit’, she loves horses so much that she has a shetland pony asthma puffer, she loves them so much she can telepathically communicate with all the other horse girls in the world. Bullied by the only other horse girls in the school, she sets about proving her worth to her classmates by liberating a police horse, setting off an odyssey through time and space.
