Changes for Kaya: A Story of Courage (American Girl: Kaya #6) by Janet Beeler Shaw
Summary (from the publisher): Speaking Rain has returned to Kaya's family, but Kaya still has one last fear--that she'll never see her beloved horse, Steps High, again. When Kaya hears of a heard of Nimíipuu horses running wild in the mountains, she hopes Steps High is one of them. Kaya soon has a chance to find out for herself when she joins the elk-hunting party traveling into the mountains. Kaya is filled with excitement and hope, but Speaking Rain is troubled by the smoke she smells on the wind--smoke from mountain fire. As Kaya searches for her beautiful horse, she has to face a fear greater than any she's ever known. Review: This final book in the Kaya series had some very dramatic scenes thanks to a wildfire. Tension was so high during these chapters, and the book had such vivid descriptions of the fire and their run to escape it. However, I was disappointed in the plot overall! This didn't have much of a central narrative, other than Kaya seeking her horse ...
