Missing! A Horse: 3 (Jumping Into Trouble) -

. .

Résumé :
One lonely boy. One runaway horse. One unforgettable summer. John Emery Phillips is the only kid in the neighbourhood without a horse--and it's driving him mad. With no siblings who understand, a family that just doesn't like animals, and a fierce yearning to ride like the others, John finds himself increasingly isolated and frustrated. When a wild gelding bolts during a chaotic training session at the local riding school, John's moment arrives. What starts as a desperate act of defiance turns into a wild adventure of loyalty, growing up, and a bond between boy and beast that no one saw coming. Filled with humour, heart, and horsey mishaps, Wanted! A Horse is a timeless Australian tale about finding your place--even when the odds are galloping against you....

Sommaire:
Roanie is gone. John finds only an unbuckled collar where his horse should be tethered. When Berry Jackson's valuable chestnut Arab mare Sadie vanishes the same night, rumours spread fast-horse thieves are selling stolen animals to knacker yards for pet food. No one believes two kids can track down professional thieves. The police offer little hope. The other horse owners lose interest. But John refuses to give up on Roanie. With his loyal blue Heeler at his side and Berry's stubborn determination beside him, John's search takes him far beyond their district. Accidental stowaways on a semi-trailer. Savage guard dogs. Suspicious farmers with forged papers. Each step brings more danger-and more questions about who can be trusted. When you love something, you don't stop looking. Missing! A Horse is the gripping conclusion to the Jumping into Trouble series-a tale of loyalty, courage, and refusing to give up when everyone else already has....
