A surprise package this and a great read-aloud for middle school children.It's a story of the Kaimanawa horses told from the point of view of a white stallion who runs with the herd and has a proud history and pedigree, and Lara a teenage girl who becomes concerned for the welfare of the Kaimanawa horses.
Susan Brocker has us running with the herd, then competing in the classroom with Lara and her friend Kahu. Add a bad boy poacher and a race to save the white stallion and the herd, and you have great adventure that stays till the last page.
Simply written and very appealing to the reluctant reader.
