Bookroo's summary
While vacationing in the Outer Banks, the Alden children stumble upon a mystery when Benny spots a mysterious stallion racing along the shore. Despite their promise to avoid mysteries, curiosity pulls them into the legend of a ghost horse. As they delve deeper, they must unravel the truth behind the spectral steed. Is it just a tale, or is there more to the story? The stakes rise as they uncover secrets that could change everything they thought they knew about the island.

But when Benny sees a mysterious stallion galloping down the beach, the children have to investigate. Could the local legend of a ghost horse be true?
