CCBC's Best Books for Kids & Teens (Fall 2015) - Commended
The life story of a painted mustang set against the backdrop of America’s Great Plains in the late 1800s.
It’s the late 1800s. A Lakota boy finds an orphaned mustang foal and brings her back to his family’s camp, naming her Paint for her black-and-white markings. Boy and horse soon become inseparable. Together they learn to hunt buffalo, their fear of the massive beasts tempered by a growing trust in each other.
When the U.S. Cavalry attacks the camp, the pair is forced onto separate paths. Paint’s fate becomes entwined with that of settlers, who bring irreversible change to the grassland, setting the stage for environmental disaster. Bought and sold several times, Paint finally finds a home with English pioneers on the Canadian Prairie.
With a great dust storm looming on the horizon, man and horse will need to work together if they hope to survive.
