Antonia's greatest love is riding horses. So it's no surprise that her dream is to become a successful show jumper. But when her riding instructor presents an opportunity for Antonia to realize her dream by entering her for a big show-jumping competition, Antonia's courage seems to fail her. After all, not only is Antonia the youngest entrant in the competition, but Elfin Dance, the wild gelding she rides, sometimes has a mind of his own. To make matters worse, Alina—Antonia's antagonist who never misses an opportunity to best her—is entering the competition, too. Does Antonia even stand a chance?
A story of perseverance told by Elisabeth Zöller and Brigitte Kolloch, featuring the colorful illustrations of Betina Gotzen-Beek, Antonia and the Big Competition encourages girls to overcome their fears and obstacles in this second book in an exciting new horse series for young readers aged 7 to 10. Readers will learn how to follow their dreams and problem solve by following Antonia's example. The confident and level-headed Antonia is a great role model for young girls and parents will want to continue buying books in this new series as their children strive to be more empowered and a good leader.

      Gr 3-5-Antonia loves riding horses and her dream is to one day be a show jumper. But when her instructor enters her into a major competition, the young equestrian becomes increasingly anxious. Antonia worries about being the youngest competitor; she fears that her wild gelding, Elfin Dance, won't yield to her control; and she's dismayed to discover that mean girl Alina is also in the competition. Originally published in German, this series has recently been translated into English. The sentences are simple and straightforward, though more densely packed than most chapter books for this age group. Recommended for readers who can't get enough "Horse Diaries" (Random).
