Maddie worries she might be giving up too much--especially Cloudy, her
pony--in this fifth book in a contemporary middle grade series in the
tradition of Marguerite Henry's Misty of Chincoteague.
It's almost Maddie's birthday, and while snooping around for her hidden
gifts (a family tradition), she stumbles across something that makes her
think her mother is getting transferred again by the Air Force--this
time overseas! What will that mean for Maddie and her pony, Cloudy? On
top of that Maddie's best friend Bridget has just broken up with her
boyfriend, and it seems that Cloudy is the only thing that makes her
feel better. Why does Maddie always have to be the one who's making
sacrifices?
