With the tragic death of his thief father and the
abandonment of his loving mother, twelve-year-old Flip has to move to the
island of Mossum in the Netherlands. His never before seen in his life uncle,
came and took Flip in. A week after, Flip goes out into the ocean not knowing
how to swim and saves a black Friesian with the help of a mysterious girl he
soon calls the Ghost Girl. Many more challenges await this young boy.
This book was very well written. The dialogue was well
transitioned and inspiring. It had lots of detail along with everything. The
story though was a bland classic horse story. The concept was not very hooking.
The ending felt like the writer did not want to write anymore and suddenly cut
it off. I would not recommend this book for the plot or theme of the story.
