Paint the Wind (Scholastic Gold)

By: Pam Muñoz Ryan

Narrated by: Kathleen McInerney

A puzzling photograph, a box filled with faded toy horses, and a single fractured memory are all that Maya has left of her mother. In Grandmother's house in California, she lives like a captive, tethered by Grandmother's rules: no talk of her mother, no friends, no foolishness of any kind...until a shocking event changes everything.

A world away, in the rugged Wyoming wilderness, a wild mustang called Artemisia runs free, belonging only to the stars. In a land where mountain lions and wranglers pose an ever-present threat, she must vigilantly protect her new foal...until a devastating act separates them from their band.

Like a braided rein, Maya's and Artemisia's lives will ultimately intertwine. Together, they hold the key to each other's survival.

I love this story

This story is really interesting and exiting. I hope there is a number 2. That would be awesome. I love this book and I think you will too!

the story

the story was incredible, and the plot kept my horse loving daughter interested from start to end

Beautiful Heartfelt Story

As an equestrian I find this book sweet, charming, and surprisingly realistic for a horse book. Really good job on the narrative part, and very Wild West type story, for example, I say “canter” instead of lope. Very nice book overall.

Paint the wind

Its a adventure for a young girl and is for all the horse lovers out there

Exhilarating and delightful adventure

I loved this book. I couldn't envision how I would enjoy a tale about a horse and its rider. But of course it was a Pam Munoz Ryan book. I have learned that every story she pens is endearing. And this story comes with amazing life lessons. I heartily recommend this to children and adults.
