Jenny Hughes incorporates a thorough knowledge of horsemanship into her
action-adventure novels for young readers.
Tia accompanies her father to an island where he wants to research the
local legend of a stallion that swam ashore from a shipwreck 150 years
earlier. All is going well--much horseback riding on the island's
trails, a cute local boy who rides, beautiful moors, beaches for
swimming. . . . Until people start mysteriously getting hurt, and
someone seems to be stalking Tia and her friends. The mystery is
unraveled by Tia after much courageous riding, leading to a dramatic
climax.
