The Christmas Treasure Hunt at Wendelby Horse Camp

When twelve-year-old Kristina falls off her horse in the middle of a snowstorm, she soon realises that her worst problem is not being lost and alone in the freezing forest. As dusk starts to fall, there are other dangers lurking in the shadows of the frosty trees. She suddenly remembers the rumour that there is a wolf around. It’s the week before Christmas and Kristina is back at Wendelby horse riding camp, where she’s reunited with her friends — and her beloved horse — from last summer. Life seems too good to be true. Her days are filled with hacks in the snow, treasure hunts, Christmas treats and cups of hot chocolate in front of the fire with her friends. But is there something brewing beneath the perfect surface?

Out in the snowstorm, Kristina helps save two Icelandic horses and she meets their owner, fourteen-year-old Emmy. Together, they stumble upon an old treasure and find themselves in the centre of a wild hunt when they get in the way of others wanting to get their share of the loot.

Set in Sweden in the dusky, snowy days leading up to Christmas, this is a story about wolves, friendship, Vikings and a long lost treasure.
