Synopsis

The Happy Hollisters and the Ghost Horse Mystery (#30 in the Happy Hollisters series)
Not long after the Hollisters, Indy, and Emmy Roades arrive on Wicket-ee-nock Island, they discover that something is very much amiss. The Franklins, who live on the island, seem to be hiding something in their barn. The Franklins warn them not to go near the barn! A prowler is seen near the abandoned inn where the Hollisters are staying.
Later, their belongings are ransacked, and they receive a fake telegram, supposedly from Mrs. Hollister, ordering them to return home. Then, one night, the ghost horse looks eerily out of the fog.
When the Hollisters realize that someone is trying to scare them off the island, they are determined to find out why.
A man with a beard and a foreign accent saves them from drowning but then disappears into the night. A pair of Lipizzan horses, a scrap of paper bearing a coat of arms, and a secret tunnel provide several clues, and after experiencing some harrowing moments, the Hollisters set out to find the valuable diamond-encrusted coat of arms that is the heart of the mystery of the ghost horse!
In the process, they learn a great deal about the work of the Audubon Society and about the training of the world-famous Lipizzaners.
The author thanks The National Audubon Society for its courteous assistance in the preparation of this story.

About the Author

"Jerry West" was a pen name for Happy Hollisters author Andrew E. Svenson (1910-1975). All 33 volumes in this children's mystery series were written based in part on the real-life adventures of his own six children as they were growing up in New Jersey in the 1950s and 1960s. A prolific author with more than 80 children's books to his credit, he is also known for his work outlining, editing, writing, and/or rewriting for the Hardy Boys (as "Franklin W. Dixon"), the Bobbsey Twins (as "Laura Lee Hope"), and the Tollivers (as "Alan Stone"). Out of print for more than 50 years, the entire Happy Hollisters series has now been reissued by the author's family in paperback and digital formats, with additional new products coming soon!
