A year has passed since 12-year-old Georgie Stone had a serious horseriding accident. She lost an eye, her horse and her country life. All she has left is a horse braid bracelet to remind her of her lost brumby, Magic.

Now that she’s back at the cattle station, Georgie tries to overcome her fear of riding and prepare for the two-week cattle muster. But she’s worried about the herd of wild brumbies led by the Ghost Horse, being hunted by a local horsewhipper, Goldburn. As the Ghost Horse begins to follow Georgie on the muster, the stallion is in extreme danger. Could the grey stallion be her old horse, Magic? How can she prove it before Goldburn captures him?

Age range 9 to 12

About the Author

Previously a technical writer and music journalist, Stef Gemmill swapped the mosh-pit for toys and tantrums to write books for curious children. Her work often reflects her quest to understand the true meaning of ‘home’ after spending a short period in a foster home in her teenage years.

Themes of homelessness and change are reflected in her debut picture book, A Home for Luna, winner of the Rubery Book Award (children’s category) 2020. Stef’s other publications include picture books In My Dreams, Toy Mountain and This Drop of Water. The Ghost Horse of Snowy River is the author’s first middle-grade fiction book.

Stef lives in the Victorian High Country in winter and on the Surf Coast in summer with her family and sleepy cat, Luna, the star of her award-winning book, A Home for Luna.
