Review
If you love the movie Spirit, this is a great book for you!!! Full of adventure, wild horses and freedom, this is a fantastic story for kids!
This book is about a horse named Sky. Born under the open sky, he is a wild mustang happy to be part of the herd. But with scarce water supplies, Sky has to set out on his own to protect his family. But with the Pony Express closing in, Sky gets caught and forced to run for the humans destroying his world. Sky is determined to escape and find his way back home to matter the cost…
This book was wonderful! Full of adventure, with wild horses and plenty of action; I loved every chapter! The story takes you all over the west, with tons of details about the Pony Express. It is a wonderful tale of finding home. I think kids 8 and up would love this adventurous tale.
Now there is violence in the book. Mention of animals dying, getting hurt, cut or whipped. There is mention of droughts and fighting over water. It isn’t too gory, with little to no blood; but some kids may be a bit more sensitive to those topics.
Overall, this book is fabulous! I love it sooo much and totally suggest it!!! If you love a good horse story, this is the book for you!!!!!! -The Young Llama Reader.

Cons

Young colt Sky was born with the urge to run.
Alongside his band, he moves across the range searching for fresh water and abundant grazing.
But humans have begun to encroach on Sky’s homelands.
With fewer resources to share, Sky knows that he must leave if his family is to survive.
He hopes that one day he’ll be strong and brave enough to return and challenge the stallion to lead the herd.
Being a lone wild horse in a vast landscape is not easy, and things get even more dangerous when Sky is captured and forced to run for the Pony Express.
Now, against all odds, Sky must find a way to escape and reunite with his family.
