About this ebook

Get ready for a wild run in bestselling author Kathryn Lasky's brand-new middle grade animal fantasy series.

The horses are in danger. They were rounded up by the two-legs and forced onto a boat to cross the wide ocean. The journey went badly and the boat was deemed too heavy, so the two-legs forced the horses into the sea and sailed away, leaving the herd to die in the deep.By a miracle, the horses survived and made it to land. All but one -- the ghost horse, the leader of the pack. Now it's up to her daughter, only a filly, to take charge of the terrified herd. Stranded in a new land, surrounded by two-legs, will the horses find a way to live safe and free?

Ratings and reviews

I have read this entirely as a real book and was stunned on how much I was addicted to it. After I finished it I wanted to read all the other parts, so I tried looking here but now I see I can only buy it but can read it without having it. But I am also confused by the second part because I didn't read anything about horses.

Grips you from the start and won't let go. Good book for horse lovers, those who like the idea of exploration, betrayal, freedom, and/or discovery. Pleanty of action and some fear mixed into the ideas if hope and faith.

This book is just amazing! I may be 14 and in the 8th grade, but these books are just amazing. This new series is going to be one of my favorites! Can't wait to read book two!
