A passion for horses propels this enthralling adventure but you don’t have to be horse-mad to enjoy it! Abby’s life revolves around the horses that she helps her Dad to train but out of all of them there is one, the foal Jack, who is most special to her. Abby and Jack have a very special bond so when keeping him is under threat it is Abby who must solve the mystery that may pull him away.
Jane Smiley writes a gripping adventure firmly founded on the vividly conveyed details of all things horsey.
When eighth-grader Abby Lovitt looks out at those pure-gold rolling hills, she knows there's no place she'd rather be than her family's ranch - even with all the hard work of tending to nine horses. But some chores are no work at all, like grooming young Jack. At eight months, his rough foal coat has shed out, leaving a smooth, rich silk, like chocolate.
