Meg Tilly makes it hard to google for...

July 14, 2008 10:50 AM

Kids' book filter: Two sisters, possibly twins, one a brunette named Natalie but known as Tilly, English, involves going to stay in the country and horses, most likely published in the early-mid 80s (when I read it), possibly a trilogy or a series. Any help with the title or author would much appreciated!

You might try this list of YA books about horses.

Any chance it could be The Canning Season?

Never mind, I see that's newer.

Over at Jezebel there is a regular feature called Fine Lines about old YA fiction; at the end of most Fine Lines there is also a Plotfinder reader request where someone is trying to find the name of a YA novel from which they remember the plot but not the title. You could try submitting your question there. (Fine Lines writer is Lizzie Skurnik; e-mail is [e-mail].)
