Book description
Kirstie and Lisa head west to the Sierra Nevada desert, traditional
Native American Indian hunting ground and home of herds of wild horses.
One of their first sightings is of a magnificent black stallion,
nicknamed El Dorado. He has an extraordinary history - resolutely
remaining free despite the attempts of numerous horse thieves. He's a
legend - admired and feared in equal measure. But within days of their
first awe-inspiring sighting, El Dorado has disappeared. Then a ranch
foal is found bitten and battered to death. There have been rumours that
the wild stallion has gone crazy - but could he really have turned
killer? Kirstie and Lisa set out to find out the truth... Born and
brought up in Harrogate, Yorkshire, Jenny Oldfield went on to study
English at Birmingham University, where she did research on the Bronte
Novels and on Children's Literature. She then worked as a teacher,
before deciding to concentrate on writing. She writes novels for both
children and adults and, when she can escape from her desk, likes to
spend time outdoors. She loves the countryside and enjoys walking,
gardening, playing tennis, riding and travelling with her two daughters,
Kate and Eve.
