Moonrunner's Shadow

by Mark Thomason

Moonrunner brings Casey a j3-month old filly to raise. The filly almost dies from lack of milk. He takes Little Lady across the Mitta Mitta River to visit the wild stallion and gets caught in a flood. Little Lady runs away in the storm. Moonrunner fights another stallion to get her back. When Casey finally returns home, his parents are gone. His mother has typhoid so his parents went to a hospital in Melbourne. Casey runs the farm alone, and goes to school, while he searches for his grandfather's buried box of gold. The entire school comes to the farm at the end to help Casey preserve the fruits and vegetables for winter.
