Synopsis

Samphire Song is a powerful, uplifting story about a girl and her spirited horse, fighting against the odds for fans of Cathy Cassidy, Eva Ibbotson and Michael Morpurgo. The first time I saw Samphire, I knew he was the one. He was wild, troubled, broken, but there was an instant connection so powerful I couldn't ignore it. Maybe he knew that I was broken too? Slowly, we learned to trust one another, and now we have a bond so strong that nothing can break it. So the day he disappeared from my world, it felt like my life was over. But I will find him - I'll make it my mission. Searingly beautiful and with the same gripping style as If I Could Fly, Jill Hucklesby proves herself to be a writer of books for teens worthy of comparison with the biggest names in children's literature. One of the great horse stories of recent times, from the same stable as Michael Morpurgo's epic, War Horse.
