<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A photo, a box of faded toy horses, and a fractured memory is all Maya has left of her mother. That is, until she moves from her grandmother's in California to the Wyoming wilderness, where her mother's family lives. There, a wild mare may hold secrets that could unlock Maya's memories.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A sheltered girl. A wild horse. An unforgettable journey.<p></p><i>Paint the Wind</i> joins the Scholastic Gold line, which features award-winning and beloved novels. Includes exclusive bonus content!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 her about her dead mother, 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Awards and Praise for <i>Paint the Wind</i>: A Cybils Awards NomineeKeystone to Reading Book Award WinnerNautilus Book Award Silver MedalA fun adventure. -- <i>The Washington Post</i></b>A breathtaking horse story in the enduring tradition of Marguerite Henry. -- Ann M.
