David Wyatt.
A clever girl, a ghost pony, a bloody family history, a rich American, and a stormy Scottish landscape--the elements are all present for an exciting adventure. But in the rush to reach the action-packed climax, necessary background information is only sketchily mentioned. The engaging, detailed descriptions of the horses and riding scenes stand in sharp contrast. Attractive drawings illustrate the book.
