Description

A young girl with rodeo dreams. A worn-out mare with an incredible secret. This old horse is about to teach Moxie some magical new tricks…

Moxie Wyoming Woodson would give anything to be a rodeo star. But when her father brings home a broken-down mare called Misty, Moxie's excitement turns into disappointment in a hurry. She knows that whooping it up on an old sway-backed mare won't win her any medals.

With boundless compassion for all animals, Moxie is determined to care for the worn-out horse. But when Moxie and her friend get wind of an illegal mustang roundup, she wishes her birthday present could help her play detective. It's only after she receives a mysterious package from her grandfather that she learns there may be more to Misty than meets the eye… 

With the horse thieves closing in, can Moxie and Misty rope in the crooked cowboy gang, or will the young sleuth’s hopes be trampled in the dust? 

A Wild Ride is the first standalone book in the beautifully illustrated Adventures of Misty & Moxie Wyoming children's horse mysteries, suitable for readers aged 7-12.

My 8 year old daughter read the book. She really liked it. It was quite a charming story. My daughter read it over the course of a few days. She had a hard time putting it down. It really sparked her imagination. We will be buying other books from this author.

A Wild Ride was about a girl who really wanted a horse for her birthday, and she didn't know her dad was going to get her one. She got an old horse, but wasn't sure she liked it. However, when she got some special pink boots, the horse began flying!

This book got an enthusiastic thumbs up from my eleven year old who loves to read and loves horses. I can't think of a higher endorsement than that.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for sending me an e-ARC of this book!
I went into this book well knowing that it was intended for people well below my age group.
But, I liked it.
One time read!
I give 4/5 stars.

A truly magical adventure! A Wild Ride. Moxie lives up to her name and is a female characters that all girls could use in their lives! And who wouldn’t want to be able to communicate with their best friend the way Moxie and Misty can! A beautiful story told with heart and love.
