Runaway

A new series by Dandi Daley Mackall, author of the best-selling Winnie the Horse Gentler series

I've run away seven times--never once to anything, just away from. Maybe that's why they call me a "runaway," and not a "run-to."

Meet 16-year-old Dakota Brown. She used to love all things "horse" until she lost everything, including hope. The minute she sets foot on her foster parents' farm--Starlight Animal Rescue--she plans her escape. But can an "impossible" horse named Blackfire and this quirky collection of animal lovers be the home she's always dreamed of?

Starlight Animal Rescue: Where problem horses are trained and loved, where abandoned dogs become heroes, where stray cats become loyal companions. And where people with nowhere to fit in find a place to belong.
