Twelve-year-old Lilly has always believed in her father's stories-tales of ghostly stallions that roam the hills, guarding secrets older than the farm she calls home. Everyone else says the stories are nonsense: her brother mocks her, her mother warns her not to dream too much.
But when Lilly glimpses a horse made of mist and moonlight-Ashfire, the legendary stallion said to have been killed by greedy men generations ago-she knows the stories are real. Drawn to the phantom's sorrowful eyes and restless spirit, Lilly sets out to uncover the truth of his death and why he still lingers in the valley.
As she searches the whispering hills, Lilly discovers that not all legends stay buried, and not everyone wants Ashfire left in peace. Some would bind even a ghost horse for their own gain. To protect Ashfire, Lilly must summon courage she never knew she had and prove that even a girl armed only with faith and stubborn hope can change the fate of the past.
A tale of mystery, friendship, and the unbreakable bond between a girl and a horse, Lilly and the Phantom Horse is perfect for readers who believe magic still runs wild in the world-if only we're brave enough to see it.
