Purchase options and add-ons

A sheltered girl. A wild horse. An unforgettable journey. This riveting story from Newbery honoree and New York Times bestseller Pam Muñoz Ryan is perfect for fans of Marguerite Henry, Sara Pennypacker, and Rosanne Parry.

Maya lives like a captive.

At Grandmother's house in California, everything is forbidden: friends, fun, even memories. And her life is built on lies―lies Grandmother tells about her dead mother, and lies Maya tells to impress or manipulate. But then she moves to the vast Wyoming wilderness where her mother's family awaits -- kind, rugged people who have no tolerance for lies. They challenge Maya to confront the truth about who she is. And a mysterious mustang called Artemisia waits, too. She holds the key to Maya's freedom. But to find it, Maya will have to risk everything. . . including her life.

Review

Awards and Praise for Paint the Wind:A Cybils Awards NomineeKeystone to Reading Book Award WinnerNautilus Book Award Silver Medal"A fun adventure." -- The Washington Post"A breathtaking horse story in the enduring tradition of Marguerite Henry." -- Ann M. Martin"Readers will learn much about horses, and even those who know nothing about them will cheer as Maya learns to walk, jog, lope and gallop." -- Kirkus Reviews"There’s lots of adventure here (both human and equine), and the pace never lags for an instant." -- Booklist"It is a story about the connection of all living things, and one can be thankful for the writers who recognize the importance of actualizing that concept." -- VOYA

I loved this book when I was in middle school and have been searching all over to get it again. Book came wrapped in it's own box and in pristine condition. Love it, thank you!

Perfect book, so glad I was able to order it

This might seem like an odd book to read multiple times and love but the story is so good. I read for the first time in elementary school and now I'm in high school and still love it to this day. I've rented it from the library more times than I can count and finally got around to permanently adding it to my collection. The book arrived in perfect condition and wrapped in plastic which was nice. So glad I was able to find a reliable seller to order one of my favorite books. Happy reading!

I didnt like how the story split up talking about the horses, then the Maya in the beginning but as I continue reading, it began to make sense. For a child age 8, it was confusing.

She loved it! She is in third grade

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2015

Verified Purchase

My daughter and I just finished reading the book together. She loved it! She is in third grade, and it was actually recommended a year ago by her second grade teacher. There are some "big" words in the book, so if you have an elementary age child reading the book on their own, it would be prudent for them to have a dictionary close by. I'm not an educator, but I'd guess 5th grade would be an appropriate age to read the book.

So sweet. I really liked it. Although it is predictable for adults, upper elementary girls in particular or middle school students would love it. I actually cried.
