Featherston in the Second World War is a bleak place for fourteen-year-old Bella. Her father is away fighting overseas, while his family fight to save their farm from ruin and keep his dreams alive. Bella, her mother, and sister have to cope with a herd of dairy cows, an unscrupulous neighbor, and a bad-tempered racehorse called Gipsy.

'It's only me - Bella,' she said, as if the mad animal cared. 'I won't hurt you. Please, don't hurt me.' Featherston in the Second World War is a tough and bleak place for fourteen-year-old Bella. Her father is away fighting overseas, while his family fight to save their farm from ruin and keep his dreams alive. Bella, her mother, and older sister have to cope with a herd of dairy cows, an unscrupulous neighbour who covets the farm, and a crazy, bad-tempered racehorse called Gipsy. Bella is terrified of the horse and doesn't know where to turn. When help is offered from an unlikely source, will she have the courage to accept it or will Gipsy destroy her father's dreams?

Susan Brocker lives with her husband and many pets, including horses, on a small farm near Tauranga. This is her third novel for Kiwi kids; following Restless Spirit and the bestselling Saving Sam. She also wrote the true story of our Anzac horses in Brave Bess and the Anzac Horses.
