In Georgina Bloomberg’s debut novel,
The A Circuit, readers fell in love with three
spunky teenage elite riders competing in the
privileged equestrian world: Zara, the wild child
of a famous rock star, Kate, a working student
serious about riding, and Tommi, a billionaire
heiress.
Now, in My Favorite Mistake (Bloomsbury;
March 13, 2012; original paperback; $9.99), the
second novel in Georgina’s teen book series co-
written with Catherine Hapka, Zara, Kate, and
Tommi are back - and they bring more drama
and controversy than ever to the A Circuit.
In My Favorite Mistake we watch Zara, Kate
and Tommi struggle to strike a balance between
their grueling competition schedules and barn
responsibilities with their desire to lead social
lives like normal teenagers. Billionaire heiress,
Tommi is training a young horse to prove she
can make horses a real career. But when her
new beau, Alex, convinces her to skip a horse
show to party in the Hamptons, the results could
be disastrous. Zara, the celebutante wild child,
is finally taking her riding seriously. Until the
new “nanny” her dad hires threatens to upstage
Zara’s party girl status. Then there’s Kate.
She doesn’t have money to burn like the others,
but she does have Fitz, the barn’s resident hot
guy. But when the pressure of being a working
student builds, Kate’s perfectionist tendencies
threaten to get in the way of her relationship
and her riding.
With sharp and witty humor, Bloomberg deftly
conveys the girls’ emotional struggles as they
try to get their priorities in line, while making
some costly mistakes along the way. A social
drama set within an elite world, My Favorite
Mistake will have teens flocking to this series.
