The sequel to Kip of the Mountain, an action-packed fantasy adventure series full of heart and fun!


Kip lives on a mountain in South Africa. She rides horses at Sunnybrook Ranch and a magical creature called Buffel is her loyal companion. Life is good.

But when her roof falls in, and her dad can't afford to fix it, Kip vows to save the day. Luckily her friends have found an ancient map in a cookie jar. There's treasure in the Karoo desert! But are the dangers of the Karoo worth the risk? There are killer leopards and forbidden caves, and a film set full of dodgy Hollywood people. Plus, hot on their trail, is greedy King Double. He's desperate for a horse. So when Kip rescues three horses, she's not the only one in danger.
