Chilrdren's Literature

When a wild mustang breaks free from the herd and races across the rugged lands of the American Southwest, his future is uncertain. Fierce, independent, and unwilling to trust humans, the spirited horse seems destined to remain untamed.

But when a young Navajo horseman encounters the runaway, a remarkable journey begins.
