Beschreibung
From the author of the New York Times-bestselling Guardians of Ga'hoole, a herd of horses surviving the wilds of the New World discovers an orphaned boy.For the filly Estrella, nothing is more precious than freedom. She was born at sea, aboard a ship of men sailing to the New World in search of gold. But Estrella and her herd escaped the conquerors and embarked on a journey across thousands of miles-braving harsh terrains and fierce predators-to a land where they can finally run wild.But now, an unforeseen danger threatens to destroy the pack. A boy with a special gift is lost in the wilderness, and only the horses can keep him alive. But to save the boy, the herd will risk galloping straight back into the hands--and harnesses-of their captors.And so, it's up to Estrella, the herd's unlikely leader, to make a life-changing decision. Should the horses accept the orphan boy as one of their own? How do you choose between freedom and friendship?Praise for Horses of the Dawn:"e;As in works such as her Guardians of Ga'hoole series, Lasky uses animals to touch on very human issues."e; -Kirkus Reviews"e;Lasky successfully fuses fantasy and fact as she gives her equine characters credible emotional depth and underscores the tensions and disparity between Old and New World sensibilities. It's a haunting story of loss, self-discovery, survival, and homecoming."e; -Publishers Weekly
