Wow Sarah someone has been taking her clever pills today! Correct for both 3 and 7. Funny how some of the ones I thought would be guessed easily have been the hardest ones to get. I thought no. 10 would be one of the first ones answered! Possibly no-one has got it cos it was written fairly recently and its for younger readers. Now I did think no. 11 would cause some probs as its not a traditional pony book. It's author wrote a very famous and well-loved pony series, but the series this book comes from is far less well-known.

Just got round to updating answers. I'll give you the answer to no. 10 (if no-one guesses it by then) and work out the winners tomorrow. What a brainy lot you are cos I couldnt even work out what some of them were myself by the time I'd wrote them down and forgot the answers! ;D (Good job I wrote the answers down)
