I just couldn't get int to the story. Maybe it was in the way it was written, but not a good match for me.

I love how Parry takes various animals in various terrains and teaches us about how humans have impacted their environment.

Sky is a wild stallion. He gets separated from his herd and caught by humans. He then finds himself as part of the Pony Express. Sky knows this life isn’t for him, so he makes a plan to reunite with his friend Storm and to return to his home.

I loved the history and I loved that some humans have compassion for the animals. Another great addition to this series.

I honestly need to read more middle grade books cause this was sooo good. I got this ARC from NetGalley and Harper Collins children so thank you. The author did a ton of research and then in the back of the book goes over a bunch of basics about horses and the area this was written in and ugh I love it so much. Such a fun and very historical accurate book. I will say I have this four stars just because the end felt a bit rushed and I will say this story reminds me a lot of Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron but I mean they’re is only SO much you can do with a wild horse story set in the same time period so I can’t fault it that much. Also the illustrations in this were wonderful and I looked forward to seeing them each chapter.

 Another great book from Rosanne Parry. I love recommending these books to readers of any age because you learn new information about the animals in the story and the story keeps you engaged throughout. Looking forward to reading more of Rosanne's work in the future.
