About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a major life transition, like moving to a new town or starting a new school, and feels like an outsider looking in. It is a perfect choice for children who are naturally hesitant or shy, as it models how to find courage and build a supportive friend group in unfamiliar territory. The story follows Lucky Prescott as she moves from the city to the frontier town of Miradero, where she eventually finds her place through her bond with a wild mustang and two new best friends. While the setting is historical, the emotional themes of resilience, loyalty, and finding a sense of belonging are timeless. It is ideally suited for children ages 4 to 8, offering a gentle yet adventurous narrative that provides comfort by showing that being different is actually a strength. Parents will appreciate how it encourages independence and the celebration of each child's unique personality within a group dynamic.
