When Liv discovers that the shady owner of the neighbouring ranch, Sam Regis, is planning to build a big retirement village on their land, she takes action. With only a few clues to go by, she and Brady secretly set out to find a mysterious old friend of Granddad’s who might know where the deed is.

Meanwhile, Sophie, Mark, and Shane discover that Mystery, the elusive wild black stallion, is trying to win Diego’s herd over once more. If he does, who knows where he’ll take them? The action gets wild when the desert is set on fire. It’s up to the kids to find the deed, stop Mystery from killing Diego, and save the future of the ranch!

In the fifth novel in the popular Wild Horse Creek series by bestselling author Sharon Siamon comes a story about loss, renewal, and hope for the future. In Runaway Dreams twin sisters Sophie and Liv face their greatest challenges yet.

As a child Sharon Siamon had a passion for three things: horses, mountains, and books. Growing up in Southern Ontario with a family too busy for horses, Siamon pursued her dreams through books and make-believe. She says: “I never ran as a kid, I galloped, trotted, or cantered everywhere.” As an adult, she has spent her time pursuing an adventurous lifestyle, and sharing it in her writing.

The inspiration for her trilogy, Mustang Mountain came while participating in a five-day trail ride near Red Deer, Alberta. There she sat around an open fire at night listening to the wranglers talk. She was also inspired by conversations with young women who grew up on ranches.

Sharon Siamon’s educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Toronto and a Bachelor of Education from Nipissing University. Siamon is now one of Canada’s most prolific writers of fiction for young readers. She has published eleven novels in Canada, two series in England, and a series in Norway. Her Sleepover Series and five books she wrote in the Stage School series under the pseudonym Geena Dare are popular across Canada and Northern Europe.

A mother of three grown up daughters, Siamon now enjoys writing in the early morning hours and then spending the rest of the day outdoors. She and her husband Jeff currently reside in Toronto with their dog, Brio.
