El Dorado - Jenny Oldfield

Kirstie and Lisa head west to the Sierra Nevada desert, traditional Native American Indian hunting ground and home of herds of wild horses.
One of their first sightings is of a magnificent black stallion, nicknamed El Dorado.
He has an extraordinary history - resolutely remaining free despite the attempts of numerous horse thieves.
He's a legend - admired and feared in equal measure.
But within days of their first awe-inspiring sighting, El Dorado has disappeared.
Then a ranch foal is found bitten and battered to death.
There have been rumours that the wild stallion has gone crazy - but could he really have turned killer?
Kirstie and Lisa set out to find out the truth...

Born and brought up in Harrogate, Yorkshire, Jenny Oldfield went on to study English at Birmingham University, where she did research on the Bront Novels and on Children's Literature.
She then worked as a teacher, before deciding to concentrate on writing.
She writes novels for both children and adults and, when she can escape from her desk, likes to spend time outdoors.
She loves the countryside and enjoys walking, gardening, playing tennis, riding and travelling with her two daughters, Kate and Eve.
