Fern dreams of riding on a wild horse's back, as fleet as the wind. She makes pets of small animals and watches the bison herds as they pound over the endless grasses of the steppe. Chafing at the inequality of being female, she longs for the freedom her twin brother enjoys to run free in the wilderness. One day in early spring, Fern secretly rescues a young horse mired in the bog, names her Thunder, and tames her enough to ride. But the people of her tribe are distrustful of her bond with nature. Is she a witch? Fern's future looks bleak until a silent man in a rival tribe, known only as The Nameless One, teaches her about patience--and love. Susan Williams's lyrical prose makes this journey to prehistoric western Asia at once inspiring and heart wrenching.… (más)

An excellent story based on a young girl in the steppe some 6000 years ago. She tames a wild horse, the first of her tribe to do so. Fern provides a strong role model for young girls and the book has a strong message of strengh, courage and loyality. Highly recommended for middle school and early high school readers. ( )

Susan Williams’s novel, Wind Rider is for readers 11 and up and tells the story of Fern, a girl child of the steppes who stumbles across the idea that horses might be useful for purposes other than hearty dinners. A well-crafted tale with a great ending, Williams captures perfectly the near-transcendent nature of the bond between human and horse.

This middle-grades novel is an imagined history of the first people to domesticate the horse in the steppes of pre-historic Kazakhstan. Fern, a daughter of nomadic hunters, has always had an affinity for the wild horses her clan hunts for meat. She tames a filly, learns to ride, and the people come to value the horse as a tool and helper. ( )
