Horses of the Fire Leanne Owens

The outback is burning and the Sunhaven teens risk everything to try and stop the arsonist. Between the fires, the mysterious white dog that appears out of nowhere, Amy's childhood friend who resembles the rock star adored by Lani, and organising a two hundred kilometre Longreach to Winton fund-raising ride, their holidays are jam-packed with excitement and discovery.

The teens of Sunhaven in outback Queensland are a year older and are home for the school holidays to face a wild ride of adventures. The outback has been burning and they are determined to find the arsonist, but the mystery becomes life threatening as they become the target. Once more, the magic and the mystery of the Min Min lights step in to help them. The rollercoaster of happenings on their holiday puts them in danger, and the Min Min can't save them from everything. Horses of the Fire is the third book of The Outback Riders series.

The Outback Riders series is written for those under the age of 16 but it remains popular with older readers who enjoy outback adventure stories with excitement, mystery, some tears, and some surprises. There are small elements of magic in the story (the Min Min lights), but no swearing or sex, so this is excellent reading for the whole family.
