A DUDE EARNS HIS SPURS,
By Plume45 "kitka12345" (Westchester, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Winged Colt of Casa Mia (Paperback)
A young boy is sent to live with his uncle--a former movie stunt man on a Texas ranch, by his irresponsible mother. Narrated in the first person by introspective Uncle Coot, this story introduces an unusual animal hero: a real but winged colt born to their neighbors. Young Charles grows to love the colt named ALADO (Winged One) and considers his uncle a true western hero. Alado learns to fly of course, but he endangers himself and causes great trouble for the two humans who are trying to cope with a mythical creature (Pegasus). Charles, the bookworm, desperately wants to prove himself a cowboy like his uncle; they both must sort out their feelings for each other and for Alado. Can a freak of nature survive in this modern world of exploitation and greed? An interesting and enjoyable book for readers of all ages.

I Love it,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Winged Colt of Casa Mia (Hardcover)
My favourite animal is dog, but anyway, this book is the best book I ever read. It is great story, I love the part when the colt flew up on the mesa, and Uncle Coot went to get it.
