Dasha is an ordinary girl. She loves applying makeup, chatting with her friends, scrolling social media, and taking selfies—while her mom sends her on a hike… and even on horseback! For a city girl, it’s a whole challenge—not only in terms of endurance, but also in the ability to communicate. How not to make mistakes and understand who is truly your friend and who you should be wary of? Who is genuinely in love with you, and who is just feeding their own ego? Read all about it in Elena Usachyova’s novel “A Princess on a White Horse.” For middle school readers.
