Synopsis: (Book #1 "The Wild One") When 13-year-old Samantha returns home to her family′s cattle ranch in Nevada, she′s worried. She moved away two years ago to recover from a bad fall off her beloved mustang, Blackie, and she′s still not sure she can get back in the saddle. Her new colt doesn′t seem to like her, and the other ranchers treat her like the boss′s spoiled daughter, and Blackie has been missing since that fateful day.
But that′s just the beginning. When Sam suddenly finds the fate of a mysterious mustang who may or may not be the missing Blackie - resting in her hands, she has to learn to be a real cowgirl, ready or not. The classic theme of a girl and her horse is set against a backdrop of mustangs, tumbleweeds, and a West that′s still Wild. On a moonlit night, a mustang comes to Sam. Is it Blackie grown up and gone wild? Is it the legendary phantom stallion? Or could it be both?

Why this series?: Well I can't put Harry Potter for everything, so this is my second favorite series. It was a tough choice between this and Heartland and Chestnut Hill, but I still have some frustrations with Heartland so voila. I really loved this series because it follows Sam over the years, from 13 years old till she is almost 18, and her adventures were truly wonderful. I already knew the world of Heartland when I was reading them, so it wasn't something new. I had never been out West before, never seen wild horses, and never experienced the Western lifestyle. There were a lot of things I didn't know, and a lot of things I learned. I think it also made the idea of America a little bit more bearable for me, as we were about to move back here and I didn't want to.
