Review by Horn Book Review

Black Cloud, a mustang colt in 1951 Nevada, is rescued by a girl named Annie after most of his herd is slaughtered. He gradually adjusts to life behind fences and learns that humans can be good or bad. The horse is a convincing narrator in this engaging story rich with historical details. An appendix provides background on mustangs. (c) Copyright 2012. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
