Shortlisted for the Bisto Irish Children's Book Award.

Synopsis
Highway Robbery by Kate Thompson
'Hold the mare for me, lad. And when I come back I'll give you a golden guinea.' But who is the rider, and why is there so much interest in his big black horse? And will the boy ever see the money he has been promised? There's highway robbery in the air, but it isn't always entirely clear just who is trying to rob who.
