Wild Horse Summer

About this book

Sixteen-year-old Morgan Taylor is struggling with her past. Her beloved showjumper horse Romeo was killed in a fire that also caused burns across her body - and she can't remember what happened. She comes to stay with her British cousins for the summer, and when the town's hottest surfer Cal Heyward saves her life, she's terrified - of her feelings for him, and of her secrets being revealed. She takes a job at a stableyard, desperate to be near horses again, and is asked to take care of Night Dancer, a horse with his own traumatic past. Can Morgan help Night Dancer, and help herself?

Lauren St John is the queen of writing about horses, and this book is another jewel in her crown. It thrums with mystery, adventure and emotion. Readers will gallop to the conclusion, keen to see Morgan achieve her dreams of healing Night Dancer, saving the stableyard - and kissing the boy! The horses are centre-stage, rather than the romance, making this the perfect summer read for teens.
