- Synopsis
- For the first printing only! This paperback features sprayed stenciled edges while the special edition supply lasts. A girl must unravel the mystery behind disappearances in her community and the arrival of a strange boy and a wild horse in this spellbinding middle grade fantasy adventure perfect for fans of Katherine Rundell and The Whisperwicks.Thirteen-year-old Ella lives a lonely life near a remote lake where the horses that make up her family&’s business are also her only friends. Ever since her father went missing years before, the family household has been made up entirely of women, something that&’s viewed with suspicion by their neighbors, who sometimes call them witches. Ella doesn&’t believe in magic, but she does know words have power. She really should have known better than to utter a wish and a joking &“curse&” on the same day—a wish for a true friend and a curse on the boy bullying her little sister. Before long, the bully goes missing the same strange way her father did, and a strange boy and a beautiful black horse seemingly appear in his place. At first, the new boy seems to be the friend Ella wished for, but he&’s pushy, quick to anger, and knows more than he should about her family. As Ella digs deeper into the mysterious occurrences, she discovers her family is living in the shadow of a vengeful kelpie, and she must break its curse to save not just her family but her entire community.
