<DIV><B>This contemporary fantasy by award-winning author Nancy Springer sweeps readers along on a girl&rsquo;s journey of enlightenment and transformation</B><BR /><BR /> Raised in the Allegheny Mountains of Pennsylvania by her grandpap, Bobbi Lee Yandro has been seeing things that aren&rsquo;t there for years. Afraid she&rsquo;s going &ldquo;all the way crazy&rdquo; like her institutionalized mother, she receives an unexpected gift for her almost-sixteenth birthday: a box of her dead father&rsquo;s journals. Wright Yandro was killed in Vietnam when Bobbi was a baby, but the poems he left behind stir something inside her, awakening visions of wild horses. When her grandfather buys her a black mustang with eyes of blue fire, she instinctively knows its name is Shane.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> On the day the vet arrives to castrate Shane, Bobbi helps the horse escape. Soon she and Shane are fugitives on a journey that takes Bobbi far from Canadawa County to a village deep in the mountains. Here she meets Hazel Fenstermacher, also known as the Hex Witch of Seldom. Hazel introduces Bobbi to the Twelve of the Hidden Circle, who include a king, a sorceress, a poet, a trickster, and a dark hero. But one of them is out to steal Shane&rsquo;s soul, for he is no ordinary horse. As Bobbi uncovers the secrets of the Circle, she must employ her special gifts to save Shane and shape her own future.&#160;</DIV>
