Book description
In the commune at the edge of a forest in Colombia, life is
blissful. Until the guerrillas come. Then Pepe must flee with his
mother to the city, leaving behind his favourite horse, El Dorado. His
future looks grim until his Irish grandparents offer him another
chance. But can thirteen-year-old Pepe go all on his own to this
strange, cold land, the birthplace of his father? And what future
awaits him there? Will he ever have the chance to ride his beloved
horses again?
