Aus dem Klappentext

They cantered down the glade. Jack felt the breeze blowing through his hair. It was like flying - it was like his dream.

The only place Jack Henley has ever felt at home is in the woods, and that's where he meets Keras.

Jack shares his incredible secret with his new friend, Mr Finistaire, and together they are determined to protect Keras. But can Mr Finistaire be trusted? All Jack knows is that Keras is gloriously and irresistibly free, and he will do whatever it takes to keep him that way.

An enchanting story about friendship, secrets and betrayal, from an exciting and original new voice in children's books.
