Stealaway — K.M. Peyton

When a new job takes Nicky and her mom to the Scottish border lands, Nicky is concerned. She's not worried about the job -- taking care of horses -- but about where it is -- ancient Bloodybow Castle, dark, forbidding and full of sercrets.

At night, when darkness falls, Bloodybow is attacked by ghosts, ancient raiders that ride out of history to exact revenge against the castle and its denizens, both horse and human.

Nicky and her friend Jed are determined to protect Stealaway, the castle's prize stallion, from these phantom attackers. But how? As Nicky and Jed delve futher into the secrets of Bloodybow's past, they realize a mysterious white pony may be the key to solving the mystery and saving Stealaway.

STEALAWAY is a thrilling story sure to appeal to fans of horse stories, ghost stories and histories set in the Scottish highlands.
