Staying at Smugglerโs Cove means spending the whole summer away from the riding stable. However, New Brunswick is better than Kathy and Bert imagine. They ride two beautiful horses, explore the countryside and practice for the upcoming show. Then strange men appear on the cliffs, and there are mysterious lights from the sea at night. Have they stumbled across diamond
smugglers?
