Grieved to leave home for her dad's new job on Sable Island, Ellie is nonetheless thrilled with the island's wild horses, particularly Orchid, a friendly wild stallion. But can Ellie save Orchid from being captured and sold in the annual roundup? Line-drawing vignettes starting each chapter add to the historic flavor of this sweet girl-and-horse tale for newly independent readers.
