Children and adults alike will be swept up in Emmaline's imagination as she undertakes the impossible task to save a winged horse from its foe. Are the winged horses that Emmaline sees only in her imagination, or do others at the hospital see them? Rich in metaphor, Sheperd's debut middle grade novel sets the bleakness of Emmaline's situation against the ultimately comforting world of her horses, and shows the power of the human will to survive in the most dire circumstances. Recommended for ages 10+.
