Reviews
Grade 5-8-Dusty Grove has had two difficult years: her mother died unexpectedly, her back was permanently injured during an accident that occurred when her father was driving drunk, and now her beloved horse, Tazz, must be put down because of incurable pain in his hooves. So when a glimmering stranger cures Tazz and rides him away, Dusty is glad-until she discovers that her visitor is the angry ghost of a teenaged boy recently killed on her father's property. Springer deftly unfolds each detail of this contemporary supernatural mystery. Her expert pacing and her protagonist's funny, sarcastic voice save the novel from its overwrought story line. The result is an enjoyable, quick read that will hold special appeal for fans of TV's Touched by an Angel.
