Star of Wild Horse Canyon

ISBN 0590090720 - Danny has a pony but he wants a horse. He's getting too big for a pony. When Uncle Mack is hired to catch a group of wild horses, Danny is allowed to go along. They find a herd and Danny spots a white horse holding his head proudly. This is the kind of horse he'd like to have, he thinks. And, once the job is done, he gets that horse! Danny spends time taming the horse he has named Star and when Star goes missing during a storm, Danny is sure that something is wrong. Star is tame now, and wouldn't have returned to the wild horses, but he hasn't come home, either! Where can he be? And will Danny ever find him again? Nice story, a little dated, but kids' books tend to stand up to time fairly well because kids are less picky than adults. Young horse lovers and budding Western fans will enjoy the story and it ends with a couple nice lessons in honesty and friendship. The illustrations are black and white and suit the era of the story perfectly.
