Description
In the chaotic last days of World War II, Jakob and Kizzy are tricked into a life or death journey.
Far from home, they are attacked and only just escape. They hide in a seemingly deserted mansion, but they keep hearing strange noises...
Investigating, they find it shelters not only forty abandoned horses but a small band of lost children, displaced by the war. With danger on every side, can Kizzy and Jakob keep them safe and get them all home?
