It’s a brand new school year and your favourite book review show is back. The Word hits the TRTÉ airwaves on Tuesday October 14th and as usual Megan Cassidy has a jam-packed show in store.

The first book under the microscope is Blaze and the Dark Rider by Stacy Gregg. This book is the second installment of the Pony Club Secrets series and is a must-read for horse enthusiasts; if you’re not a pony person don’t worry, this book is also a winner for anyone who loves a good mystery or adventure story.

It’s the biggest pony-club competition of the year and Issie and her friends are on course for glory. However, disaster strikes when they realise someone is sabotaging their equipment! Issie must call on the help of her pony Mystic to uncover the truth and stop the troublemaker before it’s too late…

Caoimhe Moore, 10 from Waterford, is taking the hot seat to discuss the book this week. Will she give it a “Yay” or a “Neigh”… you’ll have to tune in to find out!

If you love this or other series and are looking for a new series to delve in to then don’t miss our interview with a real life “Book Doctor” who will prescribe just the right series for you!

As usual we have a 40EUR gift voucher to give away to one lucky creative writer – so get your poems and short stories in to theword@rte.ie to be in with a chance of winning!

The Word, Tuesdays at 7pm on TRTÉ radio.
