Bad enough Matt Del Toro is the greenest greenhorn in the family's centuries-old business: riding down and destroying wolf-like creatures, known as skinners. He must also learn how to match his father's skills at monster hunting. Odds of doing that? Yeah, about a million to one. Because Matt's father is the legendary Javier Del Toro - hunter, scholar, and a true caballero: a gentleman of the horse.
Now, with the skinners multiplying, both in numbers and ferocity, Matt is desperate to keep his father and hot-tempered older brother from killing each other, prevent his new friend, Perry - a horse-crazy girl who recently moved to their small town of Huerfano, Colorado - from discovering the true nature of his odder-than-oddball family, and save a group of paleontologists from getting skinner-ed.
Luckily, Matt has twelve hundred pounds of backup in his best friend - El Cid, an Andalusian war stallion with the ability of human speech, more fighting savvy than a medieval knight, and a heart as big and steadfast as the Rocky Mountains.
Serious horse power.
Those skinners don't stand a chance.
Genre: Children's Fiction
