One in a series of Karito Kids™ Adventures, Pita and the Missing Mare follows the story of 11-year-old Pita, a girl of privilege from Mexico City who bucks the rules of her social class after her beloved horse goes missing. When Pita goes on a search for her horse, she finds more than she could have ever expected -- a new friend in the stable hand's daughter, her grandfather's humble heritage, and a mysterious uncle she didn't know existed. Perhaps most importantly to Pita, though, is the strength she finds within herself and the understanding she gains of her horse's desire to run free. This softback, 152 page book includes a full-color section from Pita's journal all about her native Mexico!
