Two girls divided by time, united by their love for some very special horses – an epic Caribbean adventure! On a remote tropical island, twelve year-old Beatriz is about to embark on an epic journey, through hurricanes and across the high seas and back to the time of Christopher Columbus… When Beatriz stumbles across a wild mare with strange markings in the jungle she can’t believe it is real. Yet from that moment on the strongest connection grows between them, and she begins to uncover an incredible history. For centuries ago, Felipa and her horse, Cara Blanca, were running for their lives. As the fates of Beatriz, Felipa and their horses become entwined, Beatriz realises that the future of the world’s rarest horses depends on her. Based on the extraordinary true story of the Abaco Barb, a real-life mystery that has remained unsolved for over five hundred years.
Reviews
I loved this book because I seemed to always end an a cliffhanger! It was so mysterious even though it could be scary at times but that was one of the things that were good about it because those scary things always ended well even though that sometimes took a long time. I liked Felipa best as she always persevered even though it was really hard for her at times. I really would recommend it to someone else who is really adventurous and confident!

I found this book very interesting though it was a bit confusing going between Beatriz‘s diary and Fellipa’s diary. The only reason it didn’t get five was because I found the blurb made it seem more Exciting than the book.
