Praise for A Whisper of Horses: "[A] densely plotted dystopian novel, Welsh author BethellÆs debut. . . . BethellÆs inventive heroine propels an action-packed adventure." ùPublishers Weekly "Bethell turns all the old formulas on their head. . . . As with all good fantasy, there is a strong requisite of reality. . . the narrative is driven by the skillfully articulated sentiments of a horse-obsessed girl." ùThe Telegraph (U.K.), five stars "When SerendipityÆs mother dies, she leaves Serendipity a figurine of a horse, an animal that has long been extinct in the world. Soon, she learns more about her motherÆs history and discovers a map that might lead to horses. . . . This debut offers up a solid dose of middle-grade adventure." ùBooklist
