A Newbery Honor Book - from the author of The White Stag



Jancsi is overjoyed to hear that his cousin from Budapest is coming to spend the summer on his father’s ranch on the Hungarian plains. But their summer proves more adventurous than he had hoped when headstrong Kate arrives, as together they share horseback races across the plains, country fairs and festivals, and a dangerous run-in with the gypsies.

In vividly detailed scenes, this Newbery Award-winning author presents an unforgettable world and characters who will be remembered forever.
