Description

Eight-year-old Enya and her younger brother, James, must rescue the last wild horses on earth from extinction, and in so doing encourage all children worldwide to save our only home, the Earth. Their resultant journey will not only engage young readers with stories of magic and adventure, but will teach today’s pre-teen generation about the beauty of the earth and all we can do to preserve it. Illustrated with full-colour photographs that draw the reader into the heart of the action and highlight the beauty of Southern Africa, this title is an exciting new storytelling tool for all nature-loving parents, grandparents, teachers and carers. The story might be one of fantasy, but the inspirational lessons are modern truths. Enya is a child of nature: she loves all living creatures and is particularly passionate about horses.

One day, she and her younger brother, James, receive magical powers that enable them to hear the voices of nature and to travel to the most extraordinary places on earth. Enya’s greatest desire is to ride a wild horse up to the stars. Her wish will be granted only if she proves worthy of such a special adventure. She is eager to help and save the last wild horses on earth with James, but there are other challenges to overcome before having her dream fulfilled…The photography takes the reader to the Cape Floral Kingdom, Kwazulu-Natal, the Richtersveld and the Namib. As the story unfolds we meet many interesting characters, including a horse whisperer and a San hunter, not to mention Prudence, the fat potbelly pig and Mr Savvy, the paranoid ostrich.
