Suddenly Jani’s breath stopped short. She could feel the flesh on her arms prickle in fear. Hadn’t she just seen a flicker of movement in the dark shadow of the rock? She gasped as she felt the cold heaviness return, rolling over her like a thick, suffocating fog.
Then she saw it! A dark shapelessness that seemed to draw out from nothing. Sheer terror engulfed her body, paralyzing her. Slowly, the black, smoky mass began to swirl and boil. Jani watched breathlessly as four long, murky tendrils escaped from the writhing blackness and shot toward the floor of the barn…
Jani loves her family’s cozy apartment in the city, her best friend and her visits to the riding stable. So she isn’t very happy about moving to the country and leaving it all behind – even though there’s an old barn for her beloved horse, Keeta, and the prospect of riding her every day. But while cleaning out the barn, Jani is confronted by a ghostly presence. Now all she wants is to solve the mystery of the wild, dark spirit and set it free.
“…packed with action, adventure and the supernatural, at its heart it is really about the power of forgiveness.” Northword
“[A Horse Called Freedom is] a mad adventure. Readers eight to 12 years old, or those still young at heart, should enjoy this horse fantasy… Dorsey is adept at capturing the feelings and experiences of a pre-teen girl.” The Westerly
