A warm and wonderful adventure with a touch of fantasy. Honey and her family seek the quiet comfort of a magical valley so they can escape the troubles of the wide world. A beautifully restorative novel from the award-winning author of the bestselling Nim's Island stories.

In the mountains there was a valley, and in the valley were the horses.
When Honey was four and her brother Rumi was a tiny baby, her family loaded up their converted ice-cream-van-camper
and drove away from all they knew, as an illness swept the sad wide world. High in the mountains, they crossed a bridge
to follow a mysterious herd of enchanted horses into a sheltered valley. The bridge and the track disappeared behind
them - and now they are trapped in paradise.
In the valley of horses, Honey's family becomes self-sufficient, fishing, growing vegetables and using solar power. But no
messages from the outside world are ever received. When her father falls desperately ill, Honey is sure there must still be
people in the big wide world who can help. She is determined to draw on her resourcefulness, self-belief and courage, but
will this be enough to find a way out of the valley?
A rich and enchanting adventure full of wonder, resilience and hope.
