Description

As Halloween approaches, 12-year-old Clodagh is convinced she saw a grey horse in the woods near the manor house, reminiscent of the local legend of Lilly and her horse Veillantif, who are said to haunt the manor each Halloween. Meanwhile, a local horse has mysteriously gone missing and Clodagh must also help organize a spooky Halloween party for Mrs. Fitz. As Clodagh and her Connemara pony, Ozzie, continue their adventure, they uncover whether they are really seeing ghosts from the 1700s. Written by Elaine Heney, this horse story is perfect for children over 8 who love horses and follows the success of the previous books in the series: the Forgotten Horse, the Show Horse, the Mayfield Horse, the Stolen Horse, and the Adventure Horse.
