About this book

A creature of courage and hope.

A companion when you are lost.

A friend when you are alone.

The horse arrives in the storm, when Merryn needs him most, following the loss of her father. Sorrel is a dreamlike creature, seemingly made from the woods and the sea. Perhaps she wished him into existence. He becomes her friend and confidant.

Throughout the summer and autumn, they ride and play, but as Christmas approaches, it will require all of Merryn’s new-found strength to help her mom and her sisters heal too.

A stunning, hopeful, and poignant middle-grade story, written and illustrated by debut author Holly Surplice The Horse Dreamer is a modern classic in the making in the vein of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse.
