*spoilers*

I really loved this book! The storyline with the mysterious horse and rider, and wondering if it was the ghost of an old smuggler, was interesting, and it was so sweet when Paige finally told her mom about hiding the horse and her mom was so kind and understanding about it. But my favorite parts were definitely the other storyline about the illegal smuggling of endangered reptiles. It was so cool! Mandy and her parents had to learn about Komodo Dragons and what to do with them, and how they could possibly end up so far away from their homeland. ( )
