“With horses, it’s not the biggest or oldest who is the lead. It’s the horse who has the confidence to guide the family . . . can make alliances with other mares and keep peace,” wrote Pam Munoz Ryan. Maya has lost her parents and grandmother recently. Now she is moving to Wyoming to live with her mother’s family on a large ranch. Maya will have the opportunity to ride and care for real horses that she has only read about up to this point. Will she have a chance to meet and even ride a horse that was her mother’s favorite? Read to learn how ghost horses, an earthquake, and family leave an impact on Maya’s life.
