    Becoming a witch wasn’t one of them. Penny and her best friend Joy took a big risk when they returned to the quaint tourist town of Spring Valley to open a coffee shop. They thought they had the perfect location— the old, dilapidated Beacon Theater. So what if the locals said it was haunted. Of course it had a giant hole in the ceiling. Sure, the whole place is filled with scary books in a strange runic language and mysterious vials of who knows what. Nobody said this would be easy. But when they venture into the basement and find a woman's body hidden in a room that’s locked from the inside, they know they've got more than they bargained for. The police don’t think it's murder, but that doesn’t stop her ghost from waking them up one morning or a strange hooded figure from trying to break into their new business. Evil lurks in the shadows and it's up to Penny and Joy, with the help of their newfound magical abilities, to solve the mystery of the deceased woman and stop the Beacon from being overrun.

    But a terrible accident seriously injures Evan’s drunken father, forcing Evan to saddle up instead. This is no ordinary race. Running from Texas to New England, its course is eighteen hundred miles—maybe even longer—and Evan will be riding a barely half-broke mustang stallion that he and his father caught. He’ll be competing against all breeds of horses, ridden by professionals and amateurs from across the world. Although Evan has learned a lot about horses from his father, Edward has also taught his son that horses are good for nothing—“You ride one to death, you get another and do the same.” Luckily, but somewhat reluctantly, the race’s chief veterinarian, Patrick Jack, takes Evan under his wing. But a horse doctor can teach a hot-headed teenager only so much. For six weeks, Evan Kendrick will learn a lot about horses, riding, friendship, life—and himself. He’ll form alliances with two of his competitors, a Negro Seminole Indian scout named Dindie Remo and a hard-drinking young woman, Arena Lancaster, whose life has been harder than even young Evan’s. Evan will make enemies, too. He’ll see new country, and he’ll discover what America can offer, both good and bad. But to win this race—to even survive it—Evan will have to put his trust in a tough stallion the color of trader’s whiskey: a mustang named Taos Lightning.
