Race the Wild Wind: A Story of the Sable Island Horses

32 pp. | Walker | July, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8027-9766-7 $17.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Layne Johnson. A band of wild horses is abandoned on Sable Island off Nova Scotia. At first the animals thrive, but then they face a harsh winter and an even harsher storm. Thanks to a stallion, they find shelter near a dune. Markle's descriptive text is accompanied by oil-on-canvas illustrations, which, though impassioned, can favor melodrama. An author's note is appended. Reading list, websites.
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
