Description:

A stunning, hopeful and poignant middle-grade animal

story, written and illustrated by debut author Holly Surplice.

The horse arrives in the storm, when Merryn needs him most, following

the loss of her father. Sorrel is a dreamlike creature, seemingly

made from the woods and the sea. Perhaps she wished him

into existence.

He becomes her friend and confidant. Throughout the summer and

autumn, they ride and play, but as Christmas approaches, it will

require all of Merryn’s new-found strength to help her mum

and her sisters heal too.

A perfect Christmas gift for readers aged 9 and up; all

the makings of a modern classic.

A beautiful jacketed hardback with blue ink interior

printing.

Explores themes of grief, family and healing in an accessible

way for young readers.
