Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal
Gr 2-4-This rather old-fashioned, action-packed tale will keep readers riveted even if they have seen the movie. Spirit is a larger-than-life, four-legged hero. From the time he is a colt, his brash curiosity and athleticism make him a standout, and eventually he becomes the leader of the Cimarron herd. However, that same curiosity brings about his capture by wranglers, who sell him to cavalrymen determined to tame him. With the help of an American Indian boy, he escapes and finds true love with Little Creek's mare, Rain, but his adventures and difficulties are far from over. This hooved Indiana Jones escapes danger at every turn and finally succeeds in returning to his herd, his life of freedom, and his true love. Scenes of galloping horses, an exploding locomotive, and Rain being shot during a cavalry raid on Little Creek's village fill some of the pages of this yarn. The illustrations have a Disneyesque feel as the two horses flirt with and seem to smile at one another; the colors of the paintings are appealing. The faces of both the four-legged and two-legged characters are expressive and sustain the excitement of this "superhero" story for those who just want an entertaining page-turner.-Carol Schene, Taunton Public Schools, MA Copyright 2003 Cahners Business Information.

    For years I have been reading David Clement-Davies (Fell, The Sight, Firebringer, The Telling Pool, etc.), and I was both excited and enthused when I discovered he had written this book. I don't think he's given the credit he's deserved, and I highly recommend to read any of his books. Read the Sight- I guarantee that within days wolves will be your life. If you too are a fan of The Sight and DCD, then go to http://stonepaws.proboards.com where you can Role Play it with other wolf fanatics!

    horses 4 ever

    The book and movie are AMAZING!!! It's cool to see a horse and rider that can totally trust each other, it's like nothing can come between them. I advise this book to all horselovers of the present and future.

    It was a great book!

    Spirit was a great book. It was about a wild horse who gets captured and frees himself and a female horse. The two horses fall in love. The lady got very sick, and Spirit was there for her. There were people trying to get them...but they failed.
