About the author

Janni Lee Simner lives in the Arizona desert, where the plants know how to bite and the dandelions really do have thorns; in spite of these things--or maybe because of them--she's convinced she lives in one of the most stunning places on earth.

Janni has published four novels for young adults, the Bones of Faerie trilogy and Thief Eyes, and she wrote the script for the video game The Huntsman: Winter's Curse.

She's also published four books for younger readers--most recently Tiernay West, Professional Adventurer--as well as more than 30 short stories, including appearances in Cricket magazine and the Welcome to Bordertown anthology.

It is one of my favorite books but you can kinda guess what happends in the middle

Generally entertaining books set in the desert of Arizona. Great for young readers, especially those with an interest in horses.

A story for teenagers and for them very good, in fact for grown ups good too. Very simple to read and quick to read with only 130 pages. The story struck a note with me in the sense of the sisterly rivalry and misunderstandings. However I somehow do not think that some things can be fixed as easy as in this book. ALSO the way the ghosts in this book are treated is very like the vampires in twilight. Stephanie Meyer may have stolen a few ideas...... Hahaha

What a great series! I could never understand why this one stopped. As a young girl I just loved the idea of a magical ghost horse coming to my window secretly in the middle of the night!
