With her grandfather's guidance, Kirstie must decide if her beloved water horse can remain with her family or if it must find a new home. As the creature's size and mystery deepen, so do the challenges. Will Kirstie find a way to keep her extraordinary friend, or will the water horse's destiny lead it elsewhere? Dive into a tale of wonder and heart.
