The Legend of Wild Horse Beach : Bronwen Webb

What is the legend that Millie, Kate and Tom discover at Wild Horse Beach?

Millie’s older sister, Lucinda, who is seen as a pest by the younger children, disappears from Wild Horse Beach in mysterious circumstances which reveal the true identity of the wild horses that give the beach its name.

After learning that another child, Adam, disappeared from Wild Horse Beach in similar circumstances three years before, Millie, Kate and Tom decide to try to save Lucinda and Adam and travel through a magic gateway into a world where unicorns and dragons battle terrifying enemies.

The children soon discover there is no way back to the human world without permission from the unicorn king, but that permission has a price that must be paid. The dragon, Zebedia, grieving and unpredictable, joins the desperate children in their quest but has his own agenda which adds to the danger. Will the children overcome their differences in order to survive in a hostile world and return home?

The Legend of Wild Horse Beach is a coming-of-age fantasy adventure for middle grade readers.

The unicorns and dragons are nicely created and the story springs to life quickly. While this book is written for children, it is also a book that adults will enjoy reading.”
