( May 25, 2011)
A teen paranormal mystery adventure, which includes lots of horse action. 12-year-old Cassy Holt is moving with her palomino horse to her new home on a foothill cattle ranch. Soon, Cassy meets Jonathan, a boy who lives on a neighboring ranch. Cassy begins to notice really weird stuff is going on. She finds out there's an abandoned mansion secreted away on a ranch back in the hills. That night, Cassy hears a voice speaking to her in her bedroom. She teams up with Jonathan to figure out what's happening. But danger lurks at every attempt they make to solve this mystery. Finally, in a falling-down cabin, they discover a diary by a girl named Stardust. They realize the forbidden mansion was Stardust's home, and they know they must risk sneaking over there. They make it to the mansion, but a scary neighbor spies them there. As they're trying to escape, he buzzes them in his P51 Mustang fighter plane. Cassy and Jonathan's horses are terrified and running out of control. The stakes are high and time is running frighteningly short.
