I really appreciated the beautiful way the writer gently introduced us to the history of the pony express. The language was simple (my 2nd grader could have easily read this on her own), yet charming enough to be enjoyed as a read aloud. This is one perspective on the pony express. It showed some animosity towards an Native American but it also showed love and a change of heart. I borrowed this from the public library but will probably add this to our personal library because I feel like it's rare to find a historical novel for very young children that is done well.
