Charlie Bass is a horse-mad nine-year-old who dreams of owning her own pony. So when her eccentric parents announce that they are going to buy a racehorse, Charlie is thrilled.
The horse they buy, Noble Warrior, looks the part: strong, fit and healthy. There's just one problem - he won't gallop. In fact, he won't even trot round the field without his best friend, Percy, a naughty palomino pony, at his side.
But Charlie is convinced that Noble Warrior has what it takes to be a champion - he just needs the right motivation...

That is, until Daddy Fox finds the ghost of a king, buried underneath a car park. A king who wishes only to be free.
"Release me," says the Ghost King, "and I can do anything. Just tell me your greatest wish."
For these football-loving foxes, might everything be about to change...?
